The Catholic church has played an important part in the history of France. While now a secular country, the history of France is inescapably intertwined with the church. Churches are everywhere in Paris. Outside of Paris villages are clustered around the local church and the town hall (which are often across the road from each other).
Many important events in French history have happened in and around it's churches. Weddings, coronations, death and the remembrance of important French people. These churches also provide stunning examples of architecture, stained glass windows, statuary and other fine arts. If you are visiting France, then seeing it's churches is a must.
