6th Arr.

Sunlight streams through Saint-Sulpice's windows at noon to illuminate an 18th-century astronomical gnomon, a brass meridian line that once calculated Easter. Your volunteer guide will unpack how this scientific instrument ended up in Paris's second-largest church, with Delacroix's dramatic frescoes waiting in the wings.
