Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois is a historic church located in Paris, France, near the Louvre Museum. Established in the 7th century, it underwent several architectural transformations, especially in the 13th, 15th, and 19th centuries, resulting in a mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. The church is notable for its association with the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, when its bell signaled the beginning of the massacre of Huguenots in Paris.
