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!

Superbe bâtisse a l'aspect et la décoration impressionnante, là rénovation en cours permettra a cette eglise de retrouver toute sa splendeur et les détails seront plus visibles notamment pour les statues.

La façade extérieure, en colonnade, est impressionnante. Comme il est bon de s'asseoir sur les énorme escaliers, avec vue sur la place de la Concorde au loin. A l'intérieur de l'édifice, on peut apprécier le calme qui y règne, et s'asseoir afin de regarder les moulures du plafond.

Site particulier pour une église plutôt temple grec ou romain. Nous avons été écouter de la musique classique dans cette église un moment magique à refaire une prochaine fois.
