SAINT SULPICE CHURCH
A building in Noisy-le-Grand with a three-aisled nave of five bays, no transept, and a barrel-vaulted choir
According to tradition, this church is located on the site of the chapel where the son of the Frankish king Chilperic I was buried in the 6th century. In the 12th century, the monks of Saint-Martin-des-Champs built the present church in which, six centuries later, the Viscount of Beauharnais married Josephine, the future empress. The building consists of a bell tower, a three-vessel nave of five bays without a transept, and a two-bay choir with a south aisle vaulted by the cul-de-four apse. The barrel vault certainly dates from the 17th century.
