Chapel of the Patron Saints
Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois is, like so many of Paris's ancient religious buildings, a complex agglomeration of parts from different periods, in this instance spanning from the 12C to the 16C.
Chapel of the Patron Saints (or Holy Patrons): the statues of Charles, Marquis of Rostaing, 1582, and Messire Tristan, Marquis of Rostaing, 1645.
Neo-Gothic altar with three statues of Saint Vincent , Trinity , Saint Germain forming an altarpiece, 19C.
The building has retained only a portion of its 16th century stained glass windows.
The interior of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois church suffered greatly from the "deplorable additions and restorations that took place during the reign of Louis XIV".
Around the chancel is an intricate 18th-century grille.
