Inside, visitors can admire frescoes on the vault and monumental sculptures by nineteenth-century French artists, as well as attend masses and concerts, especially the Musical Sundays, which bring together musicians from around the world. The church is also known for having hosted the funerals of figures such as Frédéric Chopin and other celebrated musicians and artists.
