Basilique Ste-Clotilde

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Resembling a mini Notre Dame, with twin conical steeples and flying buttresses at the rear, this delightful basilica presides over a pretty park. Dating from 1856, its sculptures, paintings and stained glass are the handiwork of some of the 19th century's finest artists, including Pradier, Préault, Guillaume, Lenepveu and Thibaut. The organ is magnificent.
