6th Arr.

Step behind the unmarked university doors to discover a 17th-century church where Bernini's Virgin gazes down on a crypt holding the bones of 114 priests martyred during the Revolution. This free guided tour weaves together Marie de Médicis's Italian vision, hidden frescoes, and one of Paris's darkest chapters.
