This spiritual tour is interwoven with the artistic and cultural history of Paris, from the medieval Crusades through the Resistance of World War II. Stand in the basilica of Saint-Denis, where Joan of Arc prayed with her soldiers in the Hundred Years' War, and gaze at the murals of Saint-Sulpice painted by Eugene Delacroix, or visit the village of Auvers where Vincent van Gogh painted the lovely Gothic church of Notre Dame d'Auvers-sur-Oise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrganised by the major geographical sections of the city—Île de la Cité; the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank; Montparnasse; Northern Paris on the Right Bank; the Marais—each chapter is accompanied by Marion Ranoux's beautiful four-colour photographs. Also included are lists of \"Nearbys\": gardens, bistros, bookshops, museums, and other points of interest to round out your visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48243944587500,"sku":"9781250239686","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250239686-sacred-paris-1.jpg?v=1787990981","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/sacred-paris-by-susan-cahill-9781250239686","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
