[Prior to bookmark the new market September 15 1851] Church of Saint-Eustache (St. Eustache) is located in the first district of Paris and is located in the immediate vicinity of the former Central Market, nowadays turned into a shopping center Les Halles. The church building is considered one of the last buildings in the Gothic style. This majestic church combines Renaissance forms of classical facades and architecture gotiki.Samo the birth of the church due to the market. At the beginning of the XIII century, one of the residents received from the King the right to collect tax from selling fish at the local market, Les Halles. Part of his wealth was commissioned to build a small chapel of St. Agnes. In 1233 on the site of this chapel we decided to build the church of St. Eustace, the holy relics which soon put right there. Thus began a long history of the church building, reconstruction and rehabilitation after the revolutions and fires.
