This church, overlooking the Faubourg Saint-Honoré and the Grands Boulevards, is rich in artworks, including a fresco by Jules Ziegler
Overlooking the Faubourg Saint-Honoré and the Grand Boulevards, the church's recently-renovated façade is in perfect symmetry with the Palais Bourbon, which faces it across the Seine via Rue Royale and Place de la Concorde. Begun in 1763, its construction lasted almost 80 years until its inauguration in 1842. The church is rich in works of art, including a fresco by Jules Ziegler adorning the choir and an organ by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Note that its bronze doors are larger than those of St. Peter's in Rome!
