Place St. Sulpice Paris 6 Metro: St. Sulpice
The Construction of St. Sulpice
church began in 1646 and took over one hundred
years to complete. Inside you can find the three beautiful murals painted by Eugene Delacroix as well as one of the largest organs in France made by the famous organ maker Cavaillé-Coll. This is the church where Victor Hugo married Adele Fouche. There is also a little science associated with St. Sulpice, namely a Rose Line representing the zero-longitude line before it was moved to England. The Astronomical Gnomen was used to calculate the winter and summer Solstices as well as the date of Easter.
