Saint Sulpice Church: Paris city guideSaint Sulpice Church is, besides Notre Dame, the biggest church in Paris. It took 134 years and 6 architects to build it. In the place where Saint Sulpice is, there was previously a parish church depending on the near at hand St-Germain-des-Prés abbey.
In 1646 began the rebuilding works but, because of some financial problems, they were often interrupted and they finished only in 1745.
The Church front is composed by two arcades with a loggia over them and with two towers on both sides. Saint Sulpice is an imposing church: 110 mt length, 56 mt width and 33 mt heigth.
Inside the church you can see one of the best organs in France and two holy water stoups shell-shaped, offered by Venice Republic to Francesco the I and given to the church in 1745 by Louis the XV. |
