Step into Saint-Eustache, one of the grandest churches in the Les Halles district. Wander among its rich art collection and, if timing allows, catch a resonant recital from its two celebrated organs.

Reasons to go

Reviews

Gorgeous church with impressive art; worth the visit even if you aren’t religious! Plus it doesn’t have the lines of Notre Dame, not to mention that it’s free! They have frequent tours in English, though I spent over an hour in there before the tour started and figured I should move along.
