Eglise de Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Paris, France - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Built as part of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, construction on the original church here was completed in 558. That church was built by Childebert I and parts of it remain in the church's base. However, through the years, plunderings, fires and other disasters required continual reconstruction. The church's tower dates to the 11th century and the spire is from the 19th century.
The church served as a burial ground for the Merovingian Kings. French philosopher Rene Descartes is entombed in one of the church's chapels.
