A large church with porticoes of different styles, with two asymmetrical towers, and a sculpture of the Virgin

Construction of this church, based on a 12th-century edifice, began in the 17th century. Characterized by a monumental façade, the work of Jean-Nicolas Servandoni, this vast structure comprises two porticoes in different styles (Doric and Ionic) and two asymmetrical towers, one of which remains unfinished. The interior was richly decorated in the 19th century, notably by the painter Eugène Delacroix. Also worth seeing is a sculpture of the Virgin of Pigalle and the gnomon, a marble obelisk "lit" by a ray of light during the solstices and equinoxes.

Besoin de restauration
Une église mythique, qui a bénéficié d’une belle restauration extérieure. Mais l’intérieur en aurait grand besoin également. Le contraste est étonnant.

Grande église dans le style classique, imposante et sobre de décoration. Elle complète bien la variété des styles des églises parisiennes, sa visite vaut la peine.

Personnellement, je trouve l'extérieure de l'église plus belle que l'intérieure qui est assez sobre. Elle est très impressionnante avec ses 2 tours et la fontaine juste devant.
L'entrée est gratuite.

Une église très impressionnante par son aspect intérieur massif. Les décors de Delacroix méritent le détour. L'ensemble formé par l'Eglise, la Place et la fontaine Saint Sulpice a beaucoup de charme.

Saint-Sulpice est la plus grande église de Paris. Elle recèle donc bien des trésors. La place et le quartier qui l'environnent ont un charme pittoresque qui en est indissociable. A voir, furtivement ou dans le détail.
