The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Paris 8th 75008

It is a symbol of this district, and whose dome can be seen from very far away, since it is more than 80 meters high. Built relatively quickly, between 1860 and 1871, Saint-Augustin Church was the first to use mainly iron and cast iron for its construction. Over a length of about a hundred metres, with no pseudo-Byzantine representations on its sides, it has taken the shape of the land dedicated to it, thus displaying a relatively narrow façade and an immense choir. In recent years, it is precisely the facade that has been renovated, and we are waiting for work to be done on the rest of the building, particularly the chevets.

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.
