On the occasion of the Heritage Days, the Saint-Jean-l'Évangéliste-de-Montmartre Church unveils its special program for Saturday, 19 September and Sunday, 20 September 2026. It is the first church built in reinforced concrete between 1897 and 1904 by architect Anatole de Baudot, at the initiative of Abbot Sobaux. The ceramic and sandstone cladding lends the edifice its picturesque character. The highly colorful stained glass, signed by Jac Galland, ranks among the finest figurative windows of the early 20th century. Note that the church has been listed in the Additional Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1966.
The Journées du Patrimoine are the perfect time to discover the treasures of the Île-de-France region. This cultural event invites us to explore and rediscover the beauty of our heritage through numerous visits and events organized in museums, monuments, castles and even in places usually closed to the public. Churches are also getting in on the act, with many of them unveiling their programs for the Heritage Days. It's time to find out what's in store atSaint-Jean-l'Évangéliste-de-Montmartre church!
