Church of Saint-Germain of Charonne

20th Arr.

Saint-Germain de Charonne feels like stumbling into medieval Paris. This 12th-century church, immortalized in the final scene of the cult classic Les Tontons Flingueurs, still sits cheek-by-jowl with its cemetery: a rarity in the city. Approach via the cobbled Rue Saint-Blaise for maximum village charm.
