Weekly Get-to-Know-Paris Challenge #37!

November 02, 2012

This week’s get-to-know-Paris challenge is to visit a new church.


The Basilica of Sacré Coeur and the Cathedral of Notre Dame

No matter how many you have seen, there are always many more you have not seen. You don’t need to take a lot of time, just pop in for five minutes if that is all the time you have. Go Paris lists their “top 10” must sees here. This site lists even more. As for me? I have been walking by the dark and dreary-looking Saint-Augustin in the 8th arrondissement for  years now and have never been inside. I think now is the time!

Which churches are at the top of your “must see” list?
