About the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a Catholic parish church in the Paris quarter that shares its name, and it is often called the city's oldest existing church. It began as the church of a Benedictine abbey that Childebert I, son of Clovis, founded in 558 to display relics from the siege of Zaragoza: a piece of the True Cross and a piece of Saint Vincent's tunic.
The abbey took the name of Saint Germain, a bishop of the sixth century, in the eighth century, and Vikings destroyed it before it was rebuilt. The church was given flying buttresses in the twelfth century, the earliest in the Ile de France. Pope Alexander III consecrated the rebuilt church on April 21, 1163; after the west portal fell in 1604, Marcel Le Roy supplied the classicizing one that still stands.
Originally the church stood beyond the medieval city walls, among the Left Bank fields and meadows called les Prés, at the heart of an abbey complex known for its scholarship and its illuminated manuscripts; it held the tombs of Germain and Childebert, along with other Merovingian rulers. Most of the abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, apart from the Bishop's palace and the chapel, which was later restored and took over as the parish church. The philosopher René Descartes is buried in one of the side chapels.
