Saint-Ambroise church dates back to the second half of the 19th century (1863-1869), when the present-day Boulevard Voltaire was built. These changes date back to Baron Haussmann's major works in Paris. Architect Théodore Ballu gave it a neo-Romanesque style, with Gothic details such as rosettes. Its two immense bell towers (each 68 meters high) are easily spotted from afar, topped by a cross and a weather vane in the shape of a rooster standing guard. If you're in the area, it's well worth a visit.

Sur le plan historique, il est émouvant de penser qu'il y avait un couvent en ce lieu, celui des soeurs Annonciades, ordre fondé par Sainte Jeanne de France et dont l'un des buts était d'imiter la Vierge Marie.
L'église est un mélange de néo-gothique et de neo-roman très réussi. La nef est spacieuse, le chœur est très bien aménagé et porte au recueillement. Les statues, bien mises en valeur, incitent à la dévotion.
Je recommande vivement de faire une pause dans ce lieu de paix.
