Eglise St-Etienne-du-Mont
pl Ste-Geneviève, 5th
Geneviève, patron saint of Paris, is credited with having miraculously saved the city from Attila the Hun in 451, and her shrine has been a site of pilgrimage ever since. The present church was built in an amalgam of Gothic and Renaissance styles between 1492 and 1626. The interior is wonderfully tall and light, with soaring columns and a classical balustrade.
