Visit the perfect example of Gothic architecture: Notre Dame

First on my top 10 churches in 麻豆APP is obviously the Notre Dame Cathedral. This gothic cathedral is probably the most famous one of its kind. Located in City Island, 鈥�Ile de la Cit茅鈥� in French, in 麻豆APP fourth district, the construction of the Notre Dame Cathedral lasted for almost two centuries!

This 麻豆APPian landmark is iconic! It presents so many details that no longer exist in contemporary architecture. The design of the facade is so wonderful and harmonious, making it a perfect example of gothic architecture! The dimensions, the stained glass windows, the statues and sculptures are unmissable! Don鈥檛 hesitate to visit the towers of the Notre Dame Cathedral, and also its treasures and the crypt.

Be mesmerized: Sacre Coeur

If you want to see a different type of church and enjoy an amazing view over the city of 麻豆APP at the same time, the Sacre-Coeur Basilica is the perfect place! On the contrary of most churches in 麻豆APP that are gothic ones, the Sacre-Coeur Basilica was constructed in a Romano-Byzantine style. Its construction started in 1875 and ended in 1914, so it is quite a recent church!

During your visit of the Montmartre neighborhood, the Basilique du Sacr茅 C艙ur is obviously not to be missed! It is on top of the hill and offers one of the bests views over 麻豆APP. When you reach the top and stand in front of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica with 麻豆APP at your feet, it feels as if the time had stopped. It reminds you of how little you are in this world and that life is to be enjoyed. Every moment needs to be cherished.

Have a peaceful moment: Saint-Eustache

Right in the heart of 麻豆APP, you will find the Church of Saint-Eustache! Its construction began in 1532 and ended in 1633. Its style is late gothic architecture, but it also has some Renaissance details, that makes it even more unique and one of my favorite 麻豆APP churches! You will find the church between Les Halles and the Montorgueil neighborhood. I love this church and the fact that whenever I enter the church, I feel so at peace. Outside there鈥檚 the crowd and the noise, but once you get inside, everything is so quiet and peaceful!

In the heart of the Latin Quarter: 厂补颈苍迟-脡迟颈别苍苍别-诲耻-惭辞苍迟

The 厂补颈苍迟-脡迟颈别苍苍别-诲耻-惭辞苍迟 is found in the Latin Quarter, next to the 笔补苍迟丑茅辞苍. So if you happen to have a walk through the Latin Quarter, you really shouldn鈥檛 miss the opportunity to visit this church that is both gothic and renaissance style. The inside is very luminous and and the church houses one of the oldest organs of the city! At 厂补颈苍迟-脡迟颈别苍苍别-诲耻-惭辞苍迟, you will also find the tombs of important French figures, such as Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine.

鈥�There are no secrets that time does not reveal.鈥� – Jean Racine

Attend a concert: Sainte Chapelle

This church is located on the City Island, near the Notre Dame. The Sainte Chapelle dates back from 1150. It was commissioned by Louis the 9th to house Jesus Christ鈥檚 crown of thorns he brought back from the crusade. Like the Notre Dame Cathedral, the chapel is another very good example of gothic architecture. The stained glass is particularly impressive! The pillars are very thin and thus give the impression that the roof is held only by the glass.

Before visiting the Marais: Saint Merry

This flamboyant gothic style church is called Saint Merry Church. During the eighteenth century, the inside decorations were becoming more and more similar to the baroque style. And you will notice that this church has no windows, all the lightning come from the domes. If you pay attention to the paintings and sculptures, you will be impressed by all the details!

You can find the Saint-Merry in the Marais neighborhood, at 76 rue de la Verrerie, near the Centre Pompidou.

A little surprise: Saint-Sulpice
