Église Saint-Gervais Saint-Protais


Looking into the Lady Chapel (Chapelle de la Vierge) 
the diffused light from the stained glass windows will take your breath away.

Église St. Gervais et St. Protais II


This 17th century church, situated just to the east of Hôtel de Ville in the Marais, holds many interesting details.  The church origins trace back to the 6th century and this current structure was built in Flamboyant Gothic style.  On this bright January morning, the rows and rows of pew benches made long shadows in the patterned rug.

The church today is affiliated with the Monastic and Lay Communities of Jerusalem, which is committed to bring prayer to the city, at times that suit the schedules of working people with services beore the work day begins; during the lunch hours; and when the work day is finished.

Église St. Gervais et St. Protais


With a storied history of musicians and composers, this Gothic church is filled with light.  
 The bright January sun doubled the beauty of this stained glass window.
