Discover the backstage of the restoration of the Chapel of the Virgin at the Saint-Germain-des-Prés church!
Since June 2023, the restoration of the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés continues for a new phase of work that concerns the painted decorations of the chapel of the Virgin. These are two large paintings in grisaille (that is to say in shades of grey), L'Adoration des mages and La Présentation de l'enfant Jésus au Temple, made by François-Joseph Heim (1787-1865) between 1828 and 1830. These works are currently being restored.
The visit proposed on the occasion of the European Heritage Days is led by a restorer and offers you to go behind the scenes of the site in an exceptional way.

• No visits for children under 10.
• Meet in front of the main entrance of the church, 3 place Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
• We recommend wearing a comfortable outfit and flat shoes to move around the scaffolding.
• A helmet will be lent at the beginning of the visit.
