The Vibe:Delacroix murals in a vast twin-towered church
The second-largest church in Paris took over a century to build, finished in the 18th century. Its mismatched towers and Delacroix murals draw art lovers and film fans alike.
Light crosses the wide nave to a brass line set in the floor. Organ practice sometimes rolls through the stone as visitors drift between chapels.
