Abbaye de Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Die Kirche Saint-Germain-des-Prés am Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris (6. Arrondissement) ist das letzte mittelalterliche Zeugnis der damals reichsten und mächtigsten Abtei im Umfeld von Paris. Ihr Vorgängerbau war seit dem Jahr 558 die Familiengrabstätte der fränkisch-merowingischen Könige.

The Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés was built in 1014 and rededicated in 1163 by Pope Alexander III to Saint Germain of Paris.
A new refectory was built for the monastery by Peter of Montereau in around 1239 - he was later the architect of the Sainte-Chapelle. The abbey church's west end tower was pierced by a portal, completed in the twelfth century, which collapsed in 1604 and was replaced in 1606 by the present classicising portal, by Marcel Le Roy.[1] Its choir, with its apsidal east end, provides an early example of flying buttresses.
