@ Boris Obradovic / Visite du 12/06/2022

Come (re)discover this discreet and sober church of the seventeenth century... which nevertheless houses rich works of art, collected and offered throughout the nineteenth century.
Behind the scaffolding and tarpaulins that conceal the work of the restorers and reduce the large organs to silence**, let yourself** tell the story of the building of a church, closely linked to the subdivision of Île Saint-Louis; his preservation and ornamentation by two exceptional parish priests; some of his many stained glass windows, paintings and sculptures.
Let yourself be introduced to Saint Geneviève, patron saint of Paris, and Saint Louis, patron saint of the parish.
Leaflets in French and English are also at your disposal to guide you through the church, to introduce you to the ongoing restoration campaign.
