St-Etienne-du-Mont - November 24, 08

Near the Pantheon is a remarkable church called St-Etienne-du-Mont. It not only is the shrine of Sainte Genevieve, patron of saint of Paris, but also the remains of the great literary figures Racine and Pascal. Some parts of the church are in the Gothic style, and others date from the Renaissance, including a magnificent rood screen.

The round window in the middle is of Medieval times. The tall tower is 16th century belfry tower. It has a huge clock on it too.
