I was walking to the Orsay Museum and passed St. Suplice—I think it was a church in the Da Vinci code? The church construction started in 1646 and finished in 1745—whew 99 years—Victor Hugo was married here—it is quite lovely with the white façade--
The last pic is of St. Germain—it was built in 1163, but sits on a much older foundation. I was going in the church, however I was swarmed by a bunch of French boy scouts –needless to say I walked away with a 5 euro French calendar—I am such a sucker even in foreign lands!!!!
