Lonely Planet review

This majestic church, one of the most beautiful in Paris, is just north of the gardens next to the Forum des Halles. Constructed between 1532 and 1640, St-Eustache is primarily Gothic, though a neoclassical façade was added on the western side in the mid-18th century. Inside, there are some exceptional Flamboyant Gothic arches holding up the ceiling of the chancel, though most of the ornamentation is Renaissance and classical.

Above the western entrance, the gargantuan organ with 101 stops and 8000 pipes dating from 1854 is used for concerts (long a tradition here) and at Sunday Mass ( and ). There's a 'free' audioguide available, though a donation of around €3 is suggested.
