El Cervantès sur Paris

16/09/2026: July 2026. Church of Saint-Séverin, located in the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank, is a century-old church with stained glass windows. The church boasts rich and vibrant stained glass windows, including precious works from both modern and 19th-century times. When sunlight shines through the glass, it casts mesmerizing, colorful shadows inside. Originating as a dwelling place of the 6th-century hermit Saint Séverin, it was also an important parish church for students of the University of Paris in the Middle Ages. Around the double-tiered cloisters and choir stalls stands a uniquely shaped, spiraling stone column resembling a palm tree, its beautiful stone showcasing the exquisite architectural craftsmanship of the late Middle Ages. The exterior and interior are decorated with many vivid gargoyles (gargoyles), and intricate stone carvings, possessing high artistic value. Admission to the church is free.
