Sancerre, France

There is indeed an active Protestant Church in town - L'Église Réformée de France. There are about 30 or so people in the church, including the owners of our French language school and their kids. We attended church on Sunday and received a very warm welcome. It was very Presbyterian - though, of course, all in French. They are in-between pastors, so an elder gave the sermon. Here we are with the preacher on Sunday. Many of the people speak Dutch as well, as well as a smattering of English.

 

The owners of Coeur de France Ecole de Langues discovered I was a pastor and very graciously invited us to go to church with them:

 

Most French people, of course, are culturally Catholic, but few go to church. There are something like 300,000 Protestants in the whole country.
