"This gorgeous church is one of my favorite in Paris 🧡
I always feel a bit sorry for it, because it has survived a series of very unfortunate events since its beginning. At first, they wanted to beat Notre-Dame with a bigger, higher and more beautiful church, but its building took more than 200 years (1646-1870). It was slowed down because of a Nobles' rebellion, a financial crise, several fires, the French Revolution (and numerous others after) ⚔️
This explains why the two towers aren't symmetrical, and why the style of the building is baroque, mixte between several architectural styles 🃏
But it is still such an impressive building, I cannot but stop every time I pass by 🤩"

"The Church of Saint-Sulpice is a Roman Catholic church in the Latin Quarter. It is only slightly smaller than Notre Dame de Paris and Saint-Eustache, thus the third largest church in the city. It is dedicated to Sulpitius the Pious. During the 18th century, an elaborate gnomon, the Gnomon of Saint-Sulpice, was constructed in the church.

"Immortalised in print by Dan Brown in the woeful Da Vinci Code as one of the locations of interest, though in reference to some spurious 'facts' about the giant sundial in the floor. Their request to film the even more woeful movie version in the church was turned down so they were forced to build a giant replica. Even so, it didn't stop tourists arriving in their droves at the time but thankfully everyone has now forgotten about Dan Brown and order has been restored to the world. Sorry fans. "
