Eva Longoria Tries To Make French Connection

Eva Longoria has flown to Paris to choose a church for her wedding. The 'Desperate Housewives' star is to wed basketball star Tony Parker on July 7 and is running out of time to pick a location.

Eva flew into the French capital on Monday and the following day she and two girlfriends visited the clerical staff at St. Germain L'Auxerrois. The church is known as the 'Parish of Kings' because of its historic affiliation and its position next to the Louvre Museum.

The three women had lunch and then relaxed with some retail therapy at Left Bank's Yves St. Laurent, Lola and Christian Lacroix boutiques. Eva, 32, then had dinner with her future mother-in-law Pamela Firestone, and Tony's younger brother T.J. at two-star restaurant Apicius. The group enjoyed lobster ravioli, asparagus salad, veal and vanilla soufflé.

A waiter told People magazine: "The ambiance between her and the others was very familial, very warm."

Eva spent yesterday working at a photo shoot for cosmetic company L'Oreal. She was expected to attend the French basketball championship finals to support T.J.'s team on its home court, the Stade Pierre Coubertin, last night.
