Église Saint-Eustache
This masterpiece of late Gothic architecture unveiled a bell tower framed in blue skies and white clouds, a reward for looking up. The tower is finished in Renaissance style which would be expected for a church of this age. Rennovation and reconstruction over the centuries produced many interesting details.
The construction of the present church was begun in 1532 and finished over a hundred years later. The first church on this site was established in 1223.

Lovely! I am sure this great bell tolls most majestically!
I love this church AND the hint of a blue sky!

The bell tower is beautiful to behold.
Excellent info—and proof that it always pays to look up!
It was in St.-Eustache that the funeral for Mozart's mother was held.
When you see St.-Eustache from Forum Les Halles, she seems like a vast ocean liner floating on a sea of grass.
