In Paris, the remains of the medieval era are relatively few and far between. But the part of this heritage that has been preserved to the present day often takes us on a real journey back in time. Among the strangely little-known monuments in the capital, the Cloître des Billettes is probably one of the most spectacular. And not just because it's the last medieval cloister in Paris!
Attached to theProtestant church of Les Billettes, this unusual Parisian landmark is located at 24 rue des archives, in the Marais district. While thechurch can be visited freely, the cloister is only open fortemporary exhibitions, usually featuring young artists. To enjoy the pleasure of discovering this unique place in the capital, you need to keep abreast of the latest news.
You'll discover a secret courtyard, surrounded by vaulted ceilings in the flamboyant Gothic style. It's a real leap back in time, contrasting with the contemporary works regularly on display. In short, the Cloître des Billettes is a place that links the Paris of today with its history. It's clear that the capital still has treasures for us to discover!
