Back in ancient times, the upper levels were reserved for royalty and the kind and the lower level was for the palace staff. This portrayed the divine authority of medieval kings.

Walking up through Montmartre is good exercise in its own right, with the staircases near the top providing a wonderfully direct final approach as the white basilica rises above you. The surrounding neighborhood is beyond charming, and reaching the summit feels like a fitting culmination of exploring one of the city's most distinctive quarters. Once there, the sweeping view across Paris is spectacular, particularly from the broad steps beneath the basilica. The Romano-Byzantine architecture is striking up close, while the enormous gold mosaic inside gives you another reason to step away from the panorama and enter the church. Few places capture Paris quite so completely: beautiful architecture, a lively neighborhood, and that extraordinary city unfolding beneath you.

I've been to Montmartre a few times over the years and can't quite say whether I've been inside the…read moreSacré-Coeur. If I have, it was well over a decade ago, and I have seen many churches in the intervening years. What I do know is that I've stood outside it several times, to admire the church as well as the iconic view of Paris from its front steps. We had intended to go inside the basilica on our recent family visit, but we had a sick child and the line was long and exposed to the sun. There were a ton of people up there, as dense a crowd as we saw all trip, everyone trying to enjoy the same viewpoint. Luckily, there was plenty of that to go around. We spent some time admiring the city and taking pictures (my father-in-law's one souvenir was that we send him a family photo from Sacré-Coeur), then wound our way downhill through charming Montmartre. Maybe next time I'll venture into the church, but it's worth going just to walk around outside.

Slightly swept under the rug since Notre Dame's restoration…read more Just wandering through this Paris neighborhood in the 1st and stumbled on this fantastic cathedral. Built between 1532 and 1633 in an area of Paris that was once the home to the country's largest food market. (Today there's a modern mall across the street.) The original chapel was built in 1213, dedicated to Saint Agnes. It is noted for its immense dimensions, the large organ, and the great wealth of art it holds. Having just visited Notre Dame the day before, I hope Église Saint-Eustache will soon get a restoration. This is an incredible architectural achievement inside and out. And I would love to see it in its original brighter glory.

We happened upon this gorgeous Gothic Roman Catholic church and went in to check it out ,,, i…read morethought it was was gorgeous inside and out. The church's external features include some fine gargoyles and flying buttresses. Its bells include the oldest one remaining in Paris, cast in 1412; their ringing is recalled in a well known poem in praise of Paris by Alan Seeger. There is a flamboyant rose window above the west entrance. The large Gothic portal under the bell tower was transferred from the church of St-Pierre-aux-boeufs which was demolished to create a new street. Its relief depicts St. Martin dividing his cloak You could tell it was very old especially some of the paintings were so dark from age. Internal features of the church include both ancient stained glass and a set of seven modern windows Loved the colorful stained glass windows. We looked around a bit and and i was able to take some non flash pics. There was a man inside that was yelling at people .. I assume he was a homeless person of questionable mental state .. we tried to keep our distance from him. We are not Catholic but i enjoy the architecture and the art of their cathedrals .. the stained glass .. organs, Gothic architecture and so many interesting details.

This a very ancient and very Gothic catholic church. It was built in the 12th century. It has a lot of beautiful art and statuary and history. There is a renovation project planned and they are soliciting donations. This church probably won't be part of the French government's plan to update churches like Notre Dame is. There are gargoyles adorning the outside of the Church and one can see quite a bit of deterioration of the stone both inside and out. It would be amazing if all the paintings inside were individually lit and a modern lighting system were installed as it is quite dark inside and it is hard to appreciate its beauty. The transepts are enormous. Its always nice to see a church open during the day for either prayer or sightseeing

The High Alter and Chancel area are incredibly beautiful. I have attached some photos of it, along with the Organ pipes above the Narthex. The Jesuit architects Étienne Martellange and François Derand, built the present building at the request of Louis XIII in the early seventeenth century. LOL What makes the church important is it's Baroque style, rather then the prevalent Gothic of the time. It's introduction changed Parisian religious architecture and is exquisite to see. On PBS Masterpiece Theater's Les Misérables, Cosette and Marius were married here. Sadly like Notre-Dame, Église Saint-Paul Saint-Louis du Marais was plundered during the French Revolution when many of its artworks were destroyed.
