About

Before the start of the French Revolution, the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont and the Pantheon were part of a single complex known as the Abbey of Saint Genevieve. It was one of the largest in France. In the first half of the 17th century, the church was renovated and expanded due to the significantly increased number of parishioners. Parisians genuinely loved the temple, which was built in honor of one of the most famous French saints. Unfortunately, the revolution brought its changes. Rebels destroyed part of the church, and the saint's relics were thrown into the city's sewer system. Only under Napoleon III was the temple's former glory restored.
