Once again, I am shocked at how long it has taken me to post this. I took the pictures nearly 2 years ago, on my last month-long stay in Paris. I can’t wait to return. This church is beautiful and the Delacroix murals had just been refurbished when I visited. Highly recommend!

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 in the Chapelle des Saints-Anges by Eugène Delacroix, 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.
