The most beautiful religious buildings Ile-De-France

The surprising name of this church comes from the fact that it is located in the station of the station - it is its name administratively. Built under the Second Empire on the plans of Claude Nascent, it presents a néoroman style. His choir gives to see a starry vault and canvases of Anders Osterlind (1887-1960). The church also includes an organ of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

This church owes the architect Prosper Bobin. It was built between 1894 and 1912 in a Romano-Byzantine style. One of its peculiarities is that it is on ancrés stilts under the Bièvre remblaiement. Funded by a couple of chocolate makers named Lambert, its facade - known as the "chocolate facade" - presents two 55-metre high towers called Jules and Honorine in tribute to these donors.

Saint Marcel Church was inaugurated in 1966. It is made of concrete and glass according to the plans of architect Daniel Michelin. His facade, due to Jean Michelin, the son of the previous one, dates back to 1993. It takes the amazing form of a large triangle. Inside the building, you can discover a great tapestry reminiscent of the Pentecost that was woven in the workshops of the National Manufacture des Gobelins on a cardboard of the painter Troncin. In a chapel, Saint Marcel's relics are preserved.

This church of medieval origin and of sober appearance, whose white color is easily recognizable, was built from a chapel of the ninth century. The choir and bell tower dates from the xiith century and the nef of the late fifteenth century. The chapiteaux of the northern choir and the north side are admired by the famous ones, and the baptismal fonts (seventeenth century), the Virgin of Pierre, the neo-Gothic oak chair (xixe) and the carved Christ embellishment the interior of the building. The stained glass windows end a harmonious ensemble with the martyrdom of Saint Saturnin and the great glass of Christ King, located above the altar.

On the old square of the village stands this th century church with a Roman steeple. The central nave is covered with a self-evident structure, and the choir, sheltered by an ogives arch, consists of a single square span and lit by a stained glass window. The staircase that rises towards the bell tower is in chestnut trees, the tree giving its name to the city. Concerts and conferences are regularly organised in this place which, besides a place of worship, is a true cultural area in the heart of Châtenay-Malabry.

Many people miss it out when they make journey between Boulogne and Chaville. Formerly dedicated to St. John the Baptist, this church was later on devoted to St. Romain, patron of boatmen, from 1504. With more than a thousand years, it has inscriptions that date its first foundations as far back as 675. And over such a long period, of course, the history of the church is very hectic: it was destroyed by the Normans in the ninth century, rebuilt in the thirteenth century, then rebuilt in the sixteenth century, after the ravages of the Hundred Years War. The choir was added in the eighteenth century.

 In 1789, the upper part of the tower threatening to fall into ruin struck and replaced by a campanile. In 1901, the statue of St. Romain is added in front, and in 1937, the church is included in the supplementary inventory

This beautiful, neoclassical church in the middle of a plot between the railway tracks leading to the Gare de Lyon and Bercy Park. His story is quite eventful. The 1821 th century building was demolished because of its poor state and was built in. Burned during the Commune, it is rebuilt shortly afterwards but remains unfinished. Later, it was flooded in the flood of the Seine in 1910, bombed in 1944 and, finally, again victim of a fire in 1982. Fortunately for her, the damage was limited this time. It is a nearby fire station.

Sainte-Clotilde parish was founded in 1857 by the architect François Gaud. It is the first Parisian church in Neo-Gothic style. The façade and its two spires that are 70 m high are the work of Théodore Ballu. Pope Léon XIII made it a basilica in 1896. This church contains a true treasure: the extraordinary organ designed by Master Cavaillé-Coll and owned first by César Franck.

The American Cathedral of Paris was founded more than 130 years ago and was first consecrated on Thanksgiving Day 1886, and marked at the time, in addition to the spiritual aspect, the already strong link between France and the United States. Since then, in the prestigious Champs-Elysées district, it has welcomed Anglican believers who wish to follow the cult in English. The church has several hundred permanent members, and during the high season this number can increase considerably. Its silhouette, high, but unadorned, makes it an emblem of this very chic district of the capital.

It has three cupolas, as well as imposing frescoes made by Jean-Pierre Laurens and his students, and cover almost entirely its walls and ceilings. They present references to the author Charles Péguy, friend of the artist. This building and its decorations have been inscribed in Historic Monuments since 2004, and are now the pride of Châtillon.

Built under the second Empire - Baron Haussmann laid the first stone in 1859 - this néoromane church is due to architect Paul-Eugène Lequeux. The stained glass windows of the choir date back to the 1970 s and are due to the master verrier verrier. It was in 1892 that the town hall of the 18 th arrondissement facing him was built. Together, these two constructions contribute to a special charm in Jules-Joffrin Square.
