Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais

Picture: Costa (2015)

This church, which had begun to be built in 1494, received a new façade in 1621, of an innovative style for the time: the Baroque. Faustous decoration and sensual curves began to appear in the architecture of Paris, even though Classicism still prevailed in Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais. Each of the three orders of the columns' capitals is represented in each of the levels. Doric in the ground floor, Ionian in the middle and Corinth in the upper.
