Art in Saint Germain des Pres

Small confidential hotel in Paris

Saint-Germain-des-Prés was originally commissioned as a shelter for King Childebert I’s relic of the True Cross, broungth back from Spain in AD 542. Despite the outside’s very Romanesque architecture, inside the church are many interesting examples of 19th century art. One such piece includes a series of stained glass windows showing scenes from the Old Testament. The church currently does excellent organ concerts on its antique organ.
