Église Saint-Séverin

The church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre is a medieval church built in the 12th century on the site of a primitive basilica destroyed by the Vikings. The priory to which the church was attached has long been prosperous, and the church has even hosted courses from the University of Paris. In the 17th century, the priory fell into decay and the church fell into disrepair. In the middle of the 17th century, the church and priory were given to the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris, which turned the church into a chapel. The French Revolution led to its transformation into a warehouse, a situation that lasted until 1826. Then Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre became a hospital chapel again until 1873. Since 1888, the Greek-Catholic Melkite community made the church its parish church. It remains the centre of the life of the Greek-Catholic Melkite parish in Paris.

Sainte-Chapelle is a palatine chapel built in 1241-1248 at the request of King Saint-Louis. It is an emblematic building of the radiant Gothic. With the Conciergerie, it is one of the remains of the city's palace, which has extended to the site that houses the current courthouse. The Sainte-Chapelle was classified as a historical monument since 1862, a year before the completion of its restoration.

Notre Dame is one of the most eminent churches in the world, and the symbol of the city of Paris. It has become the theatre to some of the most notorious novels in literature, celebrated by writers and artists including Victor Hugo. The cathedral was built by the meanderings of the river Seine- in the Île de la Cité- in the early days of the gothic era. Although the monument is a great example of early gothic style, the influence of the Romanesque school is still visible. In 2019, the church was badly damaged by a fire.
