Tribunal de Paris

The building you are approaching is the Church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, which served as the official parish church for the residents of the nearby Louvre Palace for centuries. Because of this proximity, it became the regular place of worship for the French royal family, who had their own designated seats facing the pulpit. The church remains a significant site for artistic history, as it holds the tombs of many notable architects and painters who spent their careers working on the construction of the Louvre.
