The Parish Church of Saint-Paul of Saint-Louis in Paris is a historic gem that was built in the 17th century by Jesuit architects. It's known for breaking away from Gothic style and embracing Baroque architecture, influencing religious buildings in Paris. The church has seen significant events like baptisms of notable figures and even served as a storehouse during the French Revolution. With its stunning interior, including white stained glass windows and intricate sculptures, this church is a must-visit for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. There is lots of beautiful art inside, including a painting by Delacroix!

Located on the busy Rue St Antoine in Le Marais, it is surprising how peaceful - and empty! - this church usually is. A hidden treasure!
