The beautiful nave of the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the only vestige of Roman art that remains in the capital. The choir of the church, on the other hand, is of early Gothic style. Observe the gothic capitals of the ambulatory.

The oldest church in Paris, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, was founded by Clovis I's son Childebert I (reigned 511-558) on the site of a small marketplace, as a pillar of an important abbey complex, to house the relic of the True Cross, brought from Spain in 542. During the Middle Ages, the church became very influential as a religious and cultural institution. Although the abbey was eventually completely destroyed by the Normans, the church itself survives with the suffix "des préso", indicating that it was located in meadows outside the city limits.
