What people say
"My favourite building in all of Paris. Huge, imposing presence visible from a huge distance, a true symbol of the might of French imperialism. A renovated church turned bastion of culture, the expert stonework was a feat to behold, and provided wonderful shade from the heat. Make sure you visit the nearby church, it was also beautiful."
