ST. ROCH'S CHURCH
Go there and contact
The first stone of this building was posed by Louis XIV in 1653, and it took nearly a century to finish the work. Built from a plan by Jacques Le Mercier, the church is inspired by the cathedral Notre-Dame. The building has been filled with chapels that are succeeding in the continuity of the nef and choir. The one dedicated to the Virgin, realized by Jules Hardouin Mansart, presents a superbly decorated dome in baroque fashion. This church contains numerous paintings, sculptures, frescoes and tombs. It is important to know that much of its heritage comes from churches that disappeared during the French Revolution. Note that at the foot of his beautiful facade with columns and his little staircase took place street fights between royalists and republican power on the 13 vendeman year IV, in other words October 5, 1795. At the head of the latter was a certain Napoleon Bonaparte who did not hesitate to pull out the gun on the insurgents.
