Nestled in the historic Latin Quarter on Paris’ Left Bank, Saint Étienne du Mont is a striking example of Gothic-Renaissance architecture. The church, known for its two unique spiral staircases, also houses the only remaining rood screen in the French capital, an ornate partition that once separated the clergy from the worshippers. Visitors can explore the intricate details and historical significance of this structure, making it a compelling destination for those interested in history and architecture.
