Eglise St Sulpice
Eglise St Sulpice
Featured in Dan Brown’s mystery novel The Da Vinci Code, Saint Sulpice Church is the second largest in the city (after Notre Dame de Paris). Where the church now stands is actually the second building‑the original was Romanesque, built in the 13th century, and the present church was founded in 1646.
The most famous of the Eugène Delacrox frescoes within Saint Sulpice depicts Jacob Wrestling with the Angel painted in the mid 19th century.
The church also contains a world-famous pipe organ constructed in 1862.
