The church Notre-Dame-de-Lorette was built between 1823 and 1836 by the architect Hippolyte Lebas. Decorated with four corinthial columns surmounted by a triangular frontal, the building is neo-classical and evokes the Roman churches of the past. Inside, painted and sculpted works follow Italian Renaissance models. There is also an organ of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll here. Originally, the entrance to the building was to be found north of the building but, following the perimeter of Laffitte Street, the plan was reversed.

Magnifique église, comme un petit bout d'Histoire, entourée par de grands immeubles. Elle a été très bien conservée, et particularité à remarquer: la devise de la République est écrite sur sa façade.
Je recommande sa visite, la quiétude interne est remarquable de contraste avec le bruit de la ville extérieure.

Très belle église. Elle a gardé tout son charme d'époque. On ressent sous les pieds, les vibrations du métro quand il passe sous l'église.
