Bas-relief of the former St. Agnes Chapel today placed at the head of the church of Saint-Eustache (1213)
The origin of the Church of St. Eustache is the fresh fish at Les Halles in Paris in the thirteenth century.
Party Channel ports in the late afternoon, the convoy of the lugger was traveling at night to reach Paris in the early morning. Up to two hundred wagons, called balloons of the tide, leading to the Markets after taking the current suburb and street Poissonniere.
On each basket of fish entering Paris, Jean Alais, who had lent money to the king, had won the right to charge a penny. No doubt thanks in part to the tax, he built, where fishmongers arrived at Les Halles, the Chapel of St. Agnes which is depicted in a fish freshly caught.
is the site of this chapel that Saint Eustache church was built from the sixteenth century.
