The Church of Saint-Germain-d'Auxerrois is located on the north side of the Louvre in Paris. Its architectural complex fully demonstrates the artistic evolution from the 12th to the 16th century. The main building adopts a flamed Gothic rib vault, which contrasts sharply with the Renaissance-style porch added in the 16th century. The latter is famous for its Corinthian columns decorated with grape vine reliefs, and each column is carved with various biblical characters. The church preserves seven groups of narrative stained glass made in the 15th century. Among them, the "Martyrdom of the Saints" on the north side has completely preserved the original lead inlay craftsmanship, and 90% of the colored glass pieces are original medieval ones. At 3 pm every day, when the sunlight penetrates these magnificent window paintings, a hidden astrological map of the twelve constellations will appear on the ground. The underground archaeological corridor fully displays the arched cellar, monks' dining hall and wine-making workshop ruins of the 12th-century Benedictine monastery. A guided tour reservation must be made three days in advance.

Saint-Germain d'Auxerrois, also known as the Louvre Church, is one of the famous churches in Paris, located next to the famous Louvre. Its tall cylindrical tower is its symbol. The interior decoration is also very luxurious and exquisite, with very beautiful sculptures. The design of the round arched top looks very different and is definitely worth a visit.
The Church of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre, commonly known as the Louvre Church or Louvre Cathedral, is located behind the Louvre Museum; of course, it can also be said to be located in front of the Louvre, depending on which direction the Louvre is viewed from; if the pyramid-shaped glass building designed by the Chinese-American I.M. Pei is considered the front of the Louvre, then the church is behind the Louvre, separated by a wide square and avenue. The address of the Church of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre: 2 Place du Louvre, 75001 Paris. The church has a long history of about three hundred years. It was built in 1683 by François Le Mercier according to the design drawings of Charles Lebrun. Historically, it was the chapel of the King of France, also known as the Church of Eglise Saint-Germain d'Auxerre. For tourists, its porch, railings, rose windows, and reliefs are the characteristics of architectural decoration, which are worth seeing. Comparing with the church buildings I have seen, I feel that its architectural decoration is more comprehensive. I think this church has experienced a lot and has been renovated many times, combining many elements, such as Renaissance, Gothic, etc. I usually like complex styles and diversity, especially in the field of literature, art and thought. For extreme, exclusive, one-sided, and forced worship things, we are afraid to avoid them. To be polite, we should stay away from them. I remember the teachings of our ancestors: harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger. In history, what is really more ferocious than a tiger is not a single harsh government, but the idea of "family rule", that is, the so-called "all under heaven is the king's land; all the people are the king's subjects".

The carvings on both sides of the wall are very vivid. It is one of the churches that Paris church must visit.
