Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance church in Paris

Construction of the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, just behind the Panthéon, began in 1492 and was completed in 1622. Given this long time span, it's hardly surprising that the church displays features of both the flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its monumental rood screen is unique in Paris. Also worth seeing are the stained glass windows and a fragment of the sarcophagus that contained the remains of Geneviève, patron saint of Paris.

The 13th century church on the Ste. Geneviève hill and a neighbor to the Pantheon is definitely worth an extended visit. There are way too many interesting things to say about this church than can possibly be addressed in this place. Several important personalities are buried in the church: Ste. Geneviève, who is the patron saint of Paris, the philosopher Blaise Pascal, the politician, philosopher, and revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat, and others.

This church was spectacular. We visited many many cathedrals while in Europe over multiple weeks. This one stood out as surprisingly unique and beautiful. Entry is free, which is a surprise as they could charge for entry, as it’s very impressive. We stumbled into it as it is just around the corner from the Pantheon. I highly recommend visiting it. A hidden gem
