It is next to the Archeological Museum and the RER station so it is not effort to step into St Germain's most interesting church. I have mentioned the extensive fresco decoration by Armaury Duval and his students. I should add the unusual modern stained-glass windows and two older scultures, one purpoting to be by Benedetto Antelami in 1178.

Students of history will be interested in the memorial to James II of England who died in St Germain-en-Laye in 1701 in the chateau where he lived in exile under the protection of Louis XIV.

It was interesting to see King James II of England's tomb. The church is just across the street from the Chateau so popping in is easy.
There is a moving plaque commemorating a prior who died in Dachau after being arrested by the Nazi's for working as a clandestine missionary to the prisoners.

There has been a church on this site since the early 18th Century, but the current structure is from early 19th. Situated right next to the RR Station and across from the Chateau, it's easy to run into and admire its frescoes. It's even better if you can hear its magnificent organ in action. Please be respectful of the worshipers.

The church is located across the street from the museum/chateau, so it's easy to find. It was build in the early 1800s so, it don't expect the Gothic grandeur of earlier centuries. But, it is still very interesting.

It is worth visiting this church just to see the beautiful memorial to King James, although the grand organ is also amazing. The beautiful stain glass windows are especially attractive on a very sunny day, and so is the coolness inside the building. King James died in St Germain in 1701, following his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. In France he was protected by Louis XIV, who allowed him to live in the royal Chateau de Saint Germain en Laye, which is opposite the church.

This is the main church in Saint-Germain that is across the street from the Chateau. Well worth a look around to see the glass and the architecture.

This is not one of my favorite churches. It is relatively recent by European standards,and not of much interest to those interested in art and architecture. It’s main claim to fame is that James II of England and Scotland was buried there. However, there is also a lovely 14th century Madonna and Child.
