If you have read the bestselling book you will be familiar with the story surrounding the church and its potentially colorful history. Here is the famous "Rose Line" the copper line imbeded in the floor of the church running up to the obelisk in the center of the picture. You need to click on Wikipedia for Saint Sulpice to get the whole story and the varying opinions concerning this artifact ...

... as well as the inverted pyramid in the Louvre which is the supposed resting place of Mary Magdalene. Fun stuff!

Other than the Dan Brown influence, the church is better known for its beautiful alter and pulpit and is today being extensively renovated.
