A superb church with many paintings, sculptures, frescoes and tombs, a monument to discover in Paris.

The foundation stone for this edifice was laid by Louis XIV in 1653, and it took almost a century to complete the work. Built to a design by Jacques Le Mercier, the church was inspired by Notre-Dame Cathedral. The building has been fitted with chapels that follow on from the nave and choir. The chapel dedicated to the Virgin, designed by Jules Hardouin Mansart, features a dome superbly decorated in the Baroque style. The church is home to numerous paintings, sculptures, frescoes and tombs. Much of its heritage comes from churches that disappeared during the French Revolution. Note that at the foot of its beautiful columned facade and small staircase, street battles took place between royalists and republican forces on 13 Vendémiaire An IV, October 5 1795. The latter were led by a certain Napoleon Bonaparte, who did not hesitate to fire cannons at the insurgents.

Église Saint-Roch-церква побудована у стилі пізнього бароко, довжиною 126 метрів, розташована за п'ять хвилин від Лувру. У 1521 році на цьому місці була збудована каплиця, яку у 1577 році перебудували у великий храм святого Роха. Сучасна будівля була збудована в 1722 році, перший камінь в його основу заклав король Людовік XIV. Церква організована у вигляді ряду каплиць. В храмі встановили капелу святої Сусани на згадку про стару каплицю. Під час революції храм сильно постраждав та був відреставрований. Нині тут зберігається безліч творів мистецтва, тут поховані Дідро, Корнель,Фрагонар, та інші.
Вхід безкоштовний.
