The importance of national awareness in the early phase of historicism in France can be traced in the church of Saint-Paul in Nimes, built by Charles-Auguste Questel between 1838-50, following a competition in 1835. The vaulted basilica with transept is based on Romanesque models in France. The lavish furnishing with stained-glass windows from a workshop in Metz is an essential feature of the spatial design, bearing witness to the growing interest in medieval art.
