Church housing works by composers such as Delalande, Rameau, Campra or Charpentier
In the seventeenth century, the Marais district had a flourishing time and a flourishing boom, at that time the church was built. Sponsored by Cardinal Richelieu, this place of worship is then frequented by the nobility that comes to listen to the passionate preachers of Father Bourdaloue, as well as the works of composers Delalande, Rameau, Campra or Charpentier. It was not unusual to cross Madame de Sévigné or the Grand Condé in the rows. The Italian facade is very ornamental and conceals a dome whose dome can only be discovered once inside. The public and practitioners benefit from Christ in agony in the garden of the olive trees, Delacroix painting, and a Virgin of pain of the sculptor Germain Pilon. The high windows pierced in the enclosure at the time of construction make it possible to bring a beautiful light into the building.
