Why go
The basilica and its separate tower provide an unmistakable landmark, but the surrounding streets are part of the visit. Walking between the church precinct and the Capucins area shows the neighborhood’s commercial character as well as its religious architecture. It is a good area to explore on foot when you want more than a single monument.
What to look for
- The basilica and detached Flèche Saint-Michel mark the neighborhood.
- Market streets extend toward the Capucins area.
- Sculpted façades add detail between the major landmarks.
Useful to know
- Begin at the basilica precinct, then explore the streets toward the Capucins area.
- Keep the basilica interior and separate spire as optional additions subject to their own access arrangements.
