Behind the Les Halles shopping center is this imposing Gothic-Renaissance style church which has been expanded several times over the centuries. The church has witnessed baptisms, weddings and burials of famous people: currently Colbert's large tomb is still present. The various chapels mainly preserve copies of famous paintings, but the stained glass windows are among the most interesting things.

I came to the grave of the contemporary artist Keith Haring. He said that because he died of AIDS, no other church would accept his funeral, but only this church, Saint-Eustache, did. He had a history like that and there is a grave in the church. As with all European churches, there is a sense of security when you go inside that something is protected. We also relaxed, sitting on the bench.

It is a huge church, with ceilings so high that one can only admire the architectural prowess. Paris may be the city with the greatest number of beautiful churches in the world. But make no mistake, it is impossible to point to one church or cathedral and declare that this one is the most beautiful. Which one would it be? St. Peter in the Vatican? St. Paul in London? Seville Cathedral? El Duomo in Milan? La Mesquita in Cordoba? There are too many magnificent cathedrals. But in Paris, there are so many incredibly beautiful churches that wherever you throw a stone, you will find one (and you can't see them all). And Saint-Eustache is just one of them. Btw, unlike in other countries (like Spain), there is no entrance fee in Paris churches.

The church is beautiful...perhaps among the most beautiful in the city of Paris. In Gothic style with many important works inside. Beautiful stained glass windows, the rose window, the organ as well as the facade.

The church of Saint-Eustache aux Halles is an architectural masterpiece, mixing Gothic style and Renaissance elements. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, it is one of the largest churches in Paris, with an impressive interior and magnificent stained glass windows. Its slender vaults and monumental organ create a unique and grandiose atmosphere. An incredible place, unmissable for history and architecture lovers.

While in Paris we were looking for a church to light a candle for a recently deceased loved one. We came across Eglise Saint-Eustache while walking in the area. If you’re looking to light a candle for a loved one the candles will be close to the front of the church, to your left when you walk in. There’s various sizes to choose from (each with a different price). Not sure if the prices are a suggestion or if mandatory to pay but we went ahead and paid for our candles (€3 each) There’s various sections in the church where you can light a candle (not only at the front by the Virgin Mary). At the front there’s a seated area by the Virgin Mary statue in case you want to reflect and pray. I also suggest you take a walk around the church where there’s various paintings and other sacred areas. Beautiful church with high ceilings
