Église
Saint-Sulpice
is
so
beautiful
inside
and
outside.
Worth
a
visit.
Built
in
the
17th
century,
with
foundations
from
the
12th
century,
the
Eglise
Saint-Sulpice
is
one
of
the
biggest
churches
in
Paris.
Located
in
the
heart
of
the
6th
arrondissement,
in
the
Saint-Germain-des-Près
district,
it
is
definitely
worth
a
visit.
Inside,
admire
the
nave,
the
Chapelle
de
la
Vierge
with
a
statue
of
Jean-Baptiste
Pigalle,
the
sacristy
and
its
wood-panelling
in
a
Louis
XV
style,
mural
paintings
by
Eugène
Delacrois,
and
the
large
organ
by
Cavaillé-Coll.
Another
curiosity:
the
gnomon,
(the
part
of
a
sundial
which
casts
a
shadow),
with
a
strand
of
brass
wire
incrusted
on
it
which
represents
the
meridian
line.
Outside,
from
Place
Saint-Sulpice,
admire
the
beautiful
facade
with
its
two
recognizable
towers.
After
several
months
of
renovation,
the
3
paintings
of
Eugène
Delacroix
of
the
Chapelle
des
Saints-Anges
are
now
accessible
to
the
public.

The
Eglise
Saint-Sulpice
is
one
of
the
sites
in
Paris
where
the
'Da
Vinci
Code'
by
Dan
Brown,
best
seller
in
2003,
was
filmed.
