Saint-Eustache
![]() |
Construction on this gorgeous Gothic church was begun in 1532 and completed 105 years later. The church has served the area of Les Halles for almost 400 years. Saint-Eustache is a wonderful place to attend an organ concert; their organ boasts 8,000 pipes (!) and is reputed to be the largest in France (and it has a beautiful sound).
