About the location

Église Saint-Germain-des-Prés

3 place Saint-Germain-des-Prés 75006 Paris

Île-de-France

The thousand-year-old bell-tower-porch of the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, its Romanesque nave, its choir of the twelfth century, as well as its capitals that date in the history of religious architecture, make it an example of Parisian Romanesque architecture. The revival of sacred art in the 19th century is illustrated by Flandrin’s murals. Located at the entrance to the church, the Saint-Symphorien chapel, decorated by Pierre Buraglio, offers an example of integration of 20th century art alongside works from the past. Historical monument protected by Prosper Mérimée in 1862.
