St Severin’s Church

This Gothic church was built in the 13th century on the site of a chapel erected in the 6th century, where a hermit named Severin once lived. Back then, the neighbourhood was the hub of student life. The distinctive feature of this religious building is its double ambulatory, with pillars reminiscent of a palm grove and, at the centre, a unique twisted column. Magnificent stained-glass windows, among the oldest in Paris.
