Some of the most beautiful churches in Paris are opening their doors to the public for the Journées du Patrimoine. This is the case this year atSaint-Gervais-Saint-Protais church, which awaits us on the weekend of Saturday September 20 and Sunday September 21, 2025, with a fine program.
Located opposite the Hôtel de Ville, theSaint-Gervais-Saint-Protais church is a little-known gem of Parisian heritage. Its origins date back to a consecration in 1420, and it took almost 150 years to give it the appearance we know today. With its imposing western facade completed in 1621, it was to inspire other churches in the capital.
You'll be amazed by the interior, which, despite the trials of time and history, has retained its original charm. Its flamboyant Gothic architecture places it among the Renaissance churches of Paris, such as Saint-Étienne-du-Mont. And what about the 16th-century choir stalls or the magnificent 16th-century stained glass windows, probably the work of Jean Cousin and Jean Chastellain?
To discover all these treasures, join us on the third weekend of September to take advantage of the events organized for the Journées du Patrimoine in Paris.
Come and enjoy an exceptional, monumental concert on Couperin's organ.
The organists of Saint-Gervais church will be presenting the Couperin organ on Saturday September 20 at 3pm, beginning with a short concert.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, come and discover a monumental historical and artistic heritage during a presentation and tour of Couperin's organ gallery, with commentary by an organist.
