The official "center" of the area is the church of St. Germain des Prés (metro St. Germain des Prés). The original foundations were laid in the 3d century A.D. but the church standing today was built in 1163 and is the remnant of what was once a rather large monastery complex. Visible remains can be seen in the ivy-covered areas inside the wrought iron fence that surrounds the building. The interior is a good example of the painted Gothic style and on certain days, usually religious holidays, classical concerts are performed in the candlelit interior.
