Église Saint-Paul, Gothic church in Vieux Lyon, France
The Saint-Paul Church combines Romanesque and Gothic architecture with a bell tower, sixteen side chapels, and a western facade decorated with quatrefoils and rose windows.
Founded in 549 by Bishop Saint Sacerdos, the church underwent multiple reconstructions after damages in 732, with significant modifications during the 11th and 12th centuries.
The church features medieval carvings, including foliage motifs and animal grotesques, along with nineteenth-century paintings by Paul Borel in the interior spaces.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours through mobile applications that detail the architectural elements and historical features.
The bell tower contains eleven bells, including Eleanor from 1626 and a four-ton lower bell cast in Lyon by Gédéon Morel with exceptional decorative elements.
