Église Saint-Médard

The church stands at 141 Rue Mouffetard, featuring a large Gothic window on its west front and distinctive flying buttresses along its exterior walls.

Construction of the church began in the 15th century and continued until the 18th century, with interruptions during the Wars of Religion in 1561.

Saint Medard church displays multiple architectural periods, combining late Gothic elements in the nave with Renaissance features in the choir section.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and welcomes visitors to explore its collection of 18th and 19th-century paintings and 16th-century stained glass.

Early Christian tombs from the Merovingian period were discovered near the church site, indicating the presence of a cemetery linked to a 6th-century oratory.
