Église Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin
In the administrative heart of the 7th arrondissement, Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin was built in the 18th century for the new Faubourg Saint-Germain. Its sober pedimented façade and elegant dome make it a fine achievement of classical religious architecture.
The church is linked to the memory of the Dominicans and of the district's artists: works by Lemoine and Van Loo can be seen. Today it is the parish of many neighbouring ministries.
Tip: allow 15 minutes. Combine with the Musée d'Orsay, Rue de Verneuil and the gardens of the Hôtel Matignon, visible from the street.
