The organ (Explored)
"The Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a Catholic parish church located in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter of Paris. It was originally the church of a Benedictine abbey founded in 558 by Childebert I, the son of Clovis, King of the Franks. The abbey was destroyed by the Vikings, rebuilt, and renamed in the 8th century for Saint Germain, a 6th century bishop. It was rebuilt with elements in the new Gothic style in the 11th century, and was given the earliest flying buttresses in the Ile de France in the 12th century. It is considered the oldest existing church in Paris"

It was badly damaged during the French Revolution and recreated/reimagined in the mid-1800's as a medieval church. The interior is strikingly beautiful and the organ is awe inspiring.
