Church built at the request of Prince Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte to make it a place worthy of housing the tomb of his father
The church was built in 1851 at the request of Prince Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, then President of the Republic and future Emperor Napoléon III. His wish was to build a place worthy of housing his father's tomb. The monument, sculpted by Petitot, stands behind the high altar. Several other members of the Bonaparte family are buried in the crypt. The organs, donated by Napoleon III, were built by the renowned organ builder Cavaillé-Coll.
