NOTRE DAME CHURCH
Read moreBuilt from 1319 to 1450 following a project formed by Philippe le Bel, the church Notre-Dame de Boulogne was devoted in 1330 by Hugues de Besançon, bishop of Paris. A pilgrimage place near the capital, the church sees under its vaults over the centuries Philippe V, Jean the Bon, Jeanne d 'Arc, Du Guesclin and Pope Sixte Quint. The village of Menus which, with the construction of the church, had become parish gradually took the name of Boulogne. It was erected in the revolutionary era. The church experienced successive restorations, the last of which was devoted to preserving the wall paintings that Charles Lameire realized in the last century. Our Lady of Boulogne is one of the few examples of the nineteenth century decoration in value today.
