Religion
In the middle of the 16th century, Paris was the helpless witness of a bloody religious war which opposed the Roman Catholic heirarchy and Protestant believers.
The horror culminated in the infamous Massacre of St Bartholomew's Day, in the night of August 23-24, 1572. That night, nearly three thousand souls perished in a bloodbath in the streets of the capital. In 1598, Protestants were granted the freedom to worship as they wished, and since that date the various religious communities have lived in harmony.
Today, all expressions of religious thought are represented in Paris, and visitors will have no difficulty in finding the church, chapel, temple, synagogue or mosque of their choice.
