The sentinel of the Battant neighborhood! Built under Louis XV from 1746 on the plans of the architect Nicolas Nicole, the Madeleine is a model of neoclassical architecture.

SAINT-PIERRE CHURCH

Religious buildings
4/5
1 review

Founded in the fourth century, the current church was erected between 1782 and 1786 by architect Bertrand, according to projects by Victor Louis. The impressive height of its steeple is explained by its role as a belfry. The interior is equally imposing with its large columns. You also admire the woodwork that compose the choir, as well as works of art such as the Pietà de Luc Breton.

This church is one of the first in France to be built in reinforced concrete, more is on a historically Protestant territory. This architecture gives the building a rather peculiar style, giving it the appearance of fortress imprenable. This holy place was built in 1932 by the plans of the monk Dom Bellot, and has bright stained glass windows that create wonderful light games.

MAJOR SEMINARY

Religious buildings

You have already described this decor… Réflechissez… Some clues, on its history: the work of Archbishop Pierre-Antoine I of Grammont, was built from 1670 to 1695, then complemented by a portal and its body of accommodation by architect Jean-Pierre Galezot in the th century. This building, therefore, in the shape of a Latin cross, has a magnificent chapel with a sumptuous façade adorned with two pilasters in Corinthian style. You're not? Well, it's through your readings that you probably already met, since it's in this building that Stendhal staged Julien Sorel, the hero of Le Rouge and the Black. So why not visit the book by hand?
