Sainte-Clotilde Church, Minor basilica in 7th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Sainte-Clotilde Church rises 70 meters high with two symmetrical spires and features pointed arches along its 96-meter-long neo-Gothic structure.

Construction of the church began in 1846 under architect Franz Christian Gau, and after his death in 1854, Theodor Ballu completed the project in 1857.

The church holds the status of a French historical monument and contains stained glass windows crafted by Emile Thibaut depicting biblical narratives.

Visitors can reach the basilica from three metro stations: Assemblée Nationale, Varenne, and Invalides, or through the RER at Musée d'Orsay station.

César Franck served as the church organist for thirty years, performing on the Cavaillé-Coll organ that remains an essential part of French musical heritage.
