Top 5 Churches in France

Le Bourg, 71250 Taizé, France

“Taizé is a place that exudes peace and tranquility. It is perfect for spending your free time and diving into your inner self. I recommend it to all young people (and older ones too) to visit.”

296 Rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris, France

“Very old and big church. Churches are usually very cool inside especially on a very hot summerday, this one was very good to just cool down and relax. The church itself is very beautiful, you can see they dont have the funds to really renovate but the building is huge and so pretty. Absolutely a secret tip :)”

1201 Chem. des Rabassières, 84330 Le Barroux, France

“A very positive energetic place that heals just by being there! I will definitely come back here again!”

71 bis Bd Voltaire, 75011 Paris, France

“Stumbled onto this cathedral by accident. Very interesting active catholic church. Their trinity stained glass and pile organ are beautiful!”

L'Abbaye, D105, 50320 La Lucerne-d'Outremer, France

“Beautiful park, fascinating architecture and clean toilets! Loved the scenery, green nature, the history and friendly kitten& goats that greeted us 🐱 Recommend visiting on a sunny day, as it started to rain during our visit and apart from the church buildings, you can’t really seek shelter or relax somewhere. But on a sunny day perfect for a Picknick or some time in the gardens!”

56 Bis Pl. Mgr Ruch, 54000 Nancy, France

“Note the hours of entry as the cathedral is open to visitors only at certain times. This is a very pretty cathedral and has a lot of light to be able to see the interior. Unfortunately right now (summer 2023) the cathedral is undergoing …”

Place de l'Eglise, 95430 Auvers-sur-Oise, France

“Such an amazing architecture. Probably one of the famous sites in auvers because of Van Gogh's painting. Definitely worth the visit, better to do a bike or hiking tour in Auvers and this is a must visit.”

45 Rue Pierre-Paul Riquet, 31000 Toulouse, France

“Elegant church in downtown Toulouse. Just a hop & a skip away from where i stayed so i visited daily. Located next to the Saint Aubin train station. Great place to start your day. The canal is right behind the church.”

89630 Saint-Léger-Vauban, France

“Spent the weekend at the nearby La Jarnoise and was recommended to come to the Abbey from a friend who said the monks make fabulous cheeses. And God must certainly be smiling down on the cows of this place, because its been 9 days and I can't stop thinking of these cheeses! Get the sampler box from the gift shop, you won't be disappointed! The church itself was a bit dull and you can't actually go through the vast Abbey grounds, but go down the path that continues past the church to get a beautiful view of the Monestary from the river below. If you continue on, there's a really lovely 1hr hike that takes you around (follow the fence). We actually came back the following day to hike the path along the gorge and it was amazing.”

6 Rue de Montmorin, 77640 Jouarre, France

“I didn't enter the Abbey but the environment is okay for visitors. There's restaurant, bar, church and bank around the site. Good place to visit by all ages.”

34 Rue Saint-Gildard, 58000 Nevers, France

“My review here is re : my visit to the Holy Chapel where the incorruptible body of St Bernadette Soubirous lies. The entire place is reasonably big although the Chapel itself is not huge. A souvenir shop can be found here. A very small museum exhibits things associated with St Bernadette. The chapel is opened at specific timings as per the attached picture. The little cafe here has a vending machine for coffee. I did not try it. The campus also has a grotto.”

87 Rte de Sept Fons, 03290 Diou, France

“Interesting place, nice but expensive gift shop”

17 Rue des Carmes, 75005 Paris, France

“Attended a Chopin piano concert in this cozy church. The acoustics and atmosphere were surreal. They have various musical events throughout the year on their website.”

92 Rue Saint-Dominique, 75007 Paris, France

“Very bright neo-classical Catholic church in the 7th arrondissement. The main nave is high and wide, and the two parallel side naves are narrow and (I think) a bit lower. There is also a modern, rather large chapel added on the backside of the main altar with its own eastern end altar. I am not exactly sure why this chapel was added. The New Year's Day service was simple, with several organ accompanied community hymns, and it was well attended.”

Rte de l'Abbaye de Bonneval, 12500 Le Cayrol, France

“We arrived at the time of the nun service, during which prayers are sung by the sisters in La Chapelle. It was very beautiful and moving in its simplicity and meditation. Very beautiful story of this Cistercian abbey, lost in the mountains. And excellent chocolate!”

2 Pl. du Révérend Père Lambert, 86240 Ligugé, France

“I loved the experience of attending the chanted hours. My heart was opened by the resonnance if the chanting and the simplicity of their way of life. +”
