The Vibe:Cathedral-scale Gothic beside the old market
Built between 1532 and 1632 beside the old Les Halles market, this church blends a Gothic frame with Renaissance detail. Its scale rivals many a cathedral.
The vast nave soars over 33 metres, lit by high windows. On Sundays the great organ fills the space with sound.
