The Church of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais is a church in Paris, France dedicated to the twin martyrs Gervasius and Protasius. It was described as a masterpiece by Voltaire.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Built on the site of a 7th century[2] basilica in 1494, the church had the current Greco-Roman façade added in 1616. During the Middle Ages it looked out over an ancient elm that gave shade to creditors resolving their affairs although it was chopped down during the French Revolution to be used as wood for cannon carriages. The church itself is still a place of worship in current times, home to a very active congregation of nuns.[1]
