Notre-Dame de Paris is the most famous church in Paris. It was built between 1165 and 1330 and it can accommodate 9000 people.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Saint-Sulpice, 2 rue Palatine, 75006 Paris France

Saint Sulpice (Da Vinci Code)
Built in the 17th century, with foundations from the 12th century, Saint Sulpice is one of the biggest churches of Paris. During the 18th century, the parish priest ordered an astronomer to build a gnomon to determine Easter thanks to the equinoxes. The dial is a marble column that marks the hour thanks to the shadow it casts on the floor. This feature was used by author Dan Brown in his best-seller novel “The DaVinci Code”.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Eglise Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, 5 rue de Belzunce, 75010 Paris France

Finished in 1827, and listed as a Historic Monument in 1994, this church of Lazarists holds the relics of St Vincent de Paul. His heart is now in the adjacent Chapel of the Daughters of Charity at the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Chapelle Notre Dame de la Medaille Miraculeuse, 140 rue du Bac, 75007 Paris France

The Miraculous Medal (includes Mass)
It was here where, in 1830, the apparitions of the Virgin to Sister Catherine Labouré happened. Now, two million pilgrims visit the chapel every year, making it the second pilgrimage in France after Lourdes. It was built in 1815 and originally dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: La Madeleine, Place de la Madeleine, 75008 Paris France

Its appearance is atypical of that of a religious building, in the form of a Greek temple without any crosses or bell-towers. Napoleon wanted it to be a pantheon in honor of his armies, however, after his fall it was turned into a church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. There are free concerts all year-round.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre, 35 Rue du Chevalier-De-La-Barre, 75018 Paris France

Built between 1873 and 1919, the Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmartre is one of the best known and the second most visited Paris monument (after Notre Dame Cathedral). The Sacré-Coeur is a holy place and a place of devotion to the Holy Virgin. Close by you can find the famous artist square, where modern-day artists create and sell their work. This place was also inspiring to artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Pissarro, and Modigliani. The tour ends here around 4:30 p.m.
