With so many churches and cathedrals in Paris I feel it is hard for one to really stand out. Saint-Étienne-du-Mont certainly did manage to stand out for me. The style and detail of this church are amazing. We were on our way to the Pantheon when we found Rue Montagne Sainte-Geneviève and were stuck by the beauty. The outside stairs are recognizable from the Movie Midnight in Paris, where Owen Wilson goes each night to be transported back in time. The church alone is worth the visit to this beautiful area.

Beautiful church located beside iconic Pantheon. Nice architecture.

Great church just near the pantheon. Great design. Many great photo ops too. I spent longer in this church than I did at the Pantheon. Well worth checking out.

Magnificent! The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the church does not always allow visitors or tourists, especially during their services and other activities. Therefore, in case you are unlucky, and in a hurry to visit it quickly, you might not be able to do so. You will find the chapel of the famous mathematician Blaise Pascal inside the church.

This wonderful church is across the road from the Pantheon. It contains the last remaining rood screen in Paris and one of the oldest organs in the capital. It is a hidden gem, which is well worth a visit.

Located next to the Pantheon, this church serves as a shrine honoring Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. The church houses a captivating collection of artifacts, making it a truly engaging destination. It embodies the quintessential Parisian church ambiance, evoking a profound sense of serenity. For enthusiasts of churches, architecture, and history, this visit is an absolute must.

Very nice Church XVI th century. The Pope, Saint John Paul II was here in 1997. praying on Saint Genevieves tomb

Beautiful church and so worth taking time out of a busy day to just take it in even if for only a few minutes.

A very beautiful church and absolutely worth your time. In fact: Spend more time here than in the Pantheon, there are more to see.

Great church landmark next to the Pantheon! 🌉🌍🇫🇷🕍🔔

One of shooting place in Midnight in Paris movie. Beautiful building, near Pantheon.

This, I believe, is the Parish Church of Paris ( not Notre Dame). It is a "working" church and not just a tourist attraction. The interior, and in particular two carved stone staircases, is magnificent as are the stain glass windows. Well worth a visit while tring to get into the nearby Pantheon.

During our family visit to Paris in October 2023, we had the opportunity to explore the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, and I would rate it four stars. Nestled next to the Panthéon, this church offers a captivating ambiance, enhanced by the glorious light filtering through its stunning stained glass windows. The play of light creates a truly magical atmosphere, adding to the allure of the place. One of the remarkable aspects of the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont is that admission is free, making it accessible to all visitors. This inclusivity allows everyone to experience the beauty and serenity of this historical gem without any barriers. Overall, our visit to the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont was a memorable experience, enriched by its breathtaking architecture and tranquil atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone looking to explore the religious and cultural heritage of Paris.

VERY BEAUTIFUL ! My wife and I stopped by this historic church ( completed in 1624 ) during our guided bike tour while we were on vacation in Paris. LOVELY AREA !

Nice historical building and also sounds like a holy place due to a lot of prayer came in, really worth to visit. Nobody asked for ticket. No parking place or toilet available nearby.

Amazing place. It was made since the french revolutionaries took the former temple and turned into the Pantheon.

This is a delightful church building in the 5th District just behind the Pantheon at Place Sainte Genevieve. It is well worth making time to see before or after your visit to the Pantheon. The church history dates back to the Abbey of St-Genevieve which was constructed nearby in the 6th century during the time of King Clovis I. The original Saint-Étienne church was constructed here in 1222. However, it had to be enlarged and reconstructed several times in later centuries. The building you see now dates back to the the end of the 16th century. It is French Gothic and French Renaissance in architectural style and is quite beautiful. The exterior includes a decorative facade and single narrow tower. Perhaps more impressive however is the interior of the church. What you'll find is a traditional Gothic nave with high vaulted ceiling, an impressive wooden pulpit, stained-glass windows, wall frescos as well as a charming rood loft with almost whimsical spiralling staircases on both sides. The side chapels are delicately decorated and also worth spending time to enjoy. In the end, Saint-Étienne-du-Mont is an interesting church to learn about historically and to view if you plan to spend time in the 5th district on the Left Bank. You can easily combine a visit here with that of the Pantheon and Musee du Cluny which is also nearby.

It was closed however it should have been opened as informed on website

Beautiful church in the heart of the 5th district 2 steps from the Panthéon

Interesting church, if you’re in the neighbourhood, definitely take a look. I wouldn’t make a detour for it, given all teh things to visit in Paris, but in any other town it would be a main attraction

One of the most beautiful and peaceful church in the world ❤️. Something magical and spiritual about it.

Beautiful! They have a saint’s tomb in there.

Beautiful beautiful building!! It was definitely worth the visit!

Another beautiful church in Paris. Must visit

Nicely preserved church.

Relaively "new" church compared to others, built in a mix of gothic and renaissance styles. Interesting but not up to its more famous peers nearby. Taking photos inside is forbidden!

Amazing church, just next to the Pantheon. We were lucky to be there for the Easter service 2022. As usual, gothic architecture is simply breath-taking!

Beautiful church to explore and admire. Some crazy old stained glass around back.

Really fine experience! the church has so many details - from the amazing twisting stairs, to the big pipes from the church organ. Beautiful mosaic windows.. go visit :) - it's difficult to describe

Being near Panthéon, this magnificent church is considered less attractive, while, on its own, it attracts people's attention.

We stopped in to this beautiful church on our way back from the pantheon. It was raining and it was nice to go inside, admire the beauty of the interior and wait for the rain to pass.

Not advertised at all anywhere. Lovely find that we did not have on our list initially. Blaise Pascal is buried here.

As an architect, this is a must see unique and quirky building unique in the world. It should be the reason to visit Paris. Photogenic interiors and exteriors. It breaks all the rules of classic design. I have this listed as one of my top 5 structures of Europe!
