Joyeux Noël

Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois

When the Louvre was the Palais Louvre, this was the church for the palace.  Located directly across the street from the museum, it's well worth a stop. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to hear the chimes.

Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois

If you are visiting the Louvre, cross the street and visit this magnificent church. The chimes from the bell tower are worth a little wait.

This is one of the most beautiful churches in Paris in my opinion.  While we were there we were able to hear the bells which I regret I was unable to capture with my phone.  I took this photograph from across the street as we left the Louvre.  The sculpture in the foreground is Hautes Herbes, by Beatrice Guichard.
