Reliquary Chest of Sainte-Geneviève
Just a few steps from the Pantheon, you will find the beautiful church "Saint-Etienne du Mont". One of the treasures inside is the Reliquary Chest of Sainte-Geneviève.
She is the Lady Patron of Paris who has protected the city on several occasions in the early 400's.
Sadly her tomb was opened and desecrated during the French Revolution. The beautiful golden coffin is therefore empty, however, it is believed that one of her fingers still remains in the small reliquary box.
If you are in the vicinity of the Pantheon in the 5th arrondissement, don't hesitate to visit the beautiful church and pay a visit to Sainte-Geneviève!
