Why is the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s so Special?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The mythical area of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s<\/a> in Â鶹APP<\/a> is rich in history, culture, and architecture. This neighborhood in the 6th arrondissement<\/a> is known as a hub for writers, artists, and other creative types throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

I lived just next door to this area for about 6 months, and it was really special for me as a writer. Greats such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Ezra Pound formed a group called the Lost Generation, and were known to hang out and work on their craft in the neighborhood. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to cult restaurants and caf\u00e9s such as Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp, and Caf\u00e9 de Flore, there is a beautiful church, the \u00c9glise de Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s<\/i>, located in the center of this bustling area of Â鶹APP. The area of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s<\/a> has existed since medieval times, and the church<\/a> is the oldest in Â鶹APP! <\/span><\/p>\n

Keep reading to learn more about the history<\/a> of this neighborhood, and why the church is so special! <\/span><\/p>\n

Ancient Beginnings<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

In 542, King Childebert I was at war with Spain<\/a>. He noticed that the residents of the Zaragoza province were praying to Saint Vincent to protect themselves from his armies. This must have tugged on his heartstrings, as Childebert decided to lift his siege on the area. As a way of saying thank you, the bishop of Zaragoza gave Childebert the saint\u2019s stole. When Childebert came home to Â鶹APP<\/a>, he ordered for a church to be built in honor of Saint Vincent, and to house the relic.<\/span><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until 558 (the year Childebert died), that the church was completed and dedicated by Bishop Germain, the bishop of Â鶹APP. Just next to the church, a monastery was built. Because the church was located outside the limits and the protection of Â鶹APP<\/a>, it was often attacked. It was actually destroyed by vikings in the 9th century!<\/span><\/p>\n

When the church was rebuilt in 1014, the pope at the time, Alexander III, had it dedicated to the Bishop of Â鶹APP, Saint Germain. I know thats a lot of bishops, and a lot of Germain\u2019s to remember, but bear with me!<\/span><\/p>\n

Although today the quartier<\/i> of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s<\/a> is located smack dab in the middle of Â鶹APP today, in medieval times, it was actually situated beyond the city lines. At the time, religion was very important, and so in turn the area was named for the Abbey. In French, the word pr\u00e9s<\/i> means fields, add on the Saint Germain church, and you get Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Abbaye<\/a>

When the church was founded, it was used to guard relics (like the stole of Saint Vincent), and to bury holy people. This has since been moved to the Basilica of Saint Denis, and unfortunately many relics have been lost in the move and over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Abbey was the center for intellectual activity in Â鶹APP until the French Revolution<\/a>. During this time in French history, the French people were revolting against abuse of power, and the church was a major source of that at this time. The people rose up, and took back the lands that the church owned. As a result, the \u00c9glise de Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s<\/i> is all that remains of the complex. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, feel free to enter the church to bask in the Romanesque architecture<\/a>. Even though the church was destroyed and rebuilt many times, the bones of the original structure exists in all of its glory. When I entered the church for the first time, I was really taken aback by how large and magnificent it is inside! If you\u2019re interested, there are actually guided tours that are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday at 3pm, where you can visit the church and hear all about the history of the structure from Â鶹APPian history buffs looking to tell the story of the church!<\/span><\/p>\n

Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s as a cultural hub<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

While you\u2019re visiting the church, I encourage you to also explore the surrounding area. I consider this area to be a quintessential Â鶹APPian neighborhood, with its narrow streets, classic Haussmannian architecture<\/a>, and bars and caf\u00e9s that are famous world wide.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Caf\u00e9<\/a>

As I mentioned, Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s also played a very important role in the literary, philosophical and artistic world of Â鶹APP in the 19th and 20th centuries. Claude Mone<\/a>t and Auguste Renoir<\/a> lived in small studio apartments in the neighborhood, along with Pablo Picasso<\/a>. Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, and Jean-Paul Sartre could be often found at the Caf\u00e9 de Flore. Writers<\/a> Honor\u00e9 de Balzac and George Sand were fond of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s, as well as painter \u00c9douard Manet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Members<\/a>

The Lost Generation, a group of Expats fleeing their home countries to bask in the greatness and inspiration that imbibed Â鶹APP at the time called Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s home. Authors such as Gertrude Stein, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, T. S. Eliot and others found their voices, and produced some of the greatest literary works<\/a> of the 20th century while working in caf\u00e9s, restaurants, and brasseries in the area. <\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you interested in this type of literature and art need to head to Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s to feel like you\u2019re following in the footsteps of these greats! I know that personally, I love knowing that I\u2019m walking the same streets as some of my idols.<\/span><\/p>\n
