The church itself is rather plain, but it fairs better and more warmly in person than it is depicted in the movie "Da Vinci Code." The Gnomon, however, is another of those tangible pieces of scientific history that is inspiring to see. Relying on the size and shape of the church to capture the sun's rays, it seems absolutely remarkable... More

Of all the many churches in Paris, this is my favorite. It would be my favorite if I wasn't a great fan of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. The church's wooden organ was built in 1781 and is one of the largest organs in the world. The Meridian Line is just a wonder to actually stand before. What a marvel... More

On our recent trip, we attended a performance of Mozart's Requiem is the Saint-Sulpice church. It was one of the worst concerts I have ever attended. Although in a lovely area, the church is as big as a train station with worse acoustics. Sound continued for more than 4 seconds after the singing stopped. The choir (not really sure who... More

Besides the fact that St Sulpice is located on a very nice piazza, there are beautiful paintings inside such as 'La lutte avec l'ange' by Delacroix

This church is impressive, built on the style of a roman temple, it rivals with Notre Dame and maybe it is more beautiful. There's a square in front of the cathedral with wonderful fountain, it is simply a pleasure to sit there, not to mention that it is also more quite and relax than other places in Paris. Try to...

As I was walking in Blvd. St. Germain des Pres, I decided to make a little detour to go to St. Sulpice. As everyone has read Da Vinci's Code, I was intrigued what lies behind this church. I went during winter so the fountain was turned off but you can still take pictures of it. The outside church was little... More

This is my favorite church to visit on Sunday mornings when in Paris. For those interested in fine music, there is a long and distinguished history of great organists here. In the center of this is the Cavaile Coll organ in the rear gallery. Following the 10:30 mass, musical pilgrims from around the world gather at a small door, which... More

This was an unexpected highlight of our visit. Happened upon a New Year's Eve performance of Mozarat's Requiem. The church itself is absolutely beautiful inside, but the sound of the orchestra and singers was truly special. This church, by the way, was used in the movie "The Da Vinci Code."

St. Sulpice is the second largest church in Paris, only slightly smaller than Notre Dame but thankfully nowhere as touristy. The location could not be more lovely, Paris at it's best and seldom overcrowded. Built in the 17th/18th c it's neo classical interior is very impressive but it suffers from being somewhat dark and could now do with a good... More

It is really my faorite churchin Paris as it is located on a beautiful plaza next to a magnificent ancient fountain. You have a feeling of a place "inhabited " by God, the Virgin Mary and Christ as you enter this fabulous church with a lot of small and intimate chapels. You feel good, protected and surrounded by beauty (beautiful... More
