Église Saint-Sulpice

The Da Vinci Code · Where the story is set

Église Saint-Sulpice

In the story · Silas search sequence (exterior filmed here, interior recreated digitally)

The church where Silas searches for the keystone. The outside of the church was filmed for real, but permission to film inside was refused, so the interior was recreated digitally. The brass meridian line in the floor is real: an 18th-century scientific instrument that the story turns into the 'Rose Line'.
