St-Germain-des-Pres Neighborhood, Paris

Called by many the most classically Parisian neighborhood, St-Germain-des-Pres gets its name from the oldest church in Paris, which has been a place of worship for over 1500 years. Just down the road is “Eglise St-Sulpice” whose grounds have been a place of worship for nearly 800 years.

Both of these churches feature some Baroque architectural features as well as Baroque Artwork.

Both churches also feature recently restored Chapel of the Virgin (la chapelle de la Vierge) in the apse with beautiful architecture, paintings and sculpture.
