On the occasion of the 42nd Journées du Patrimoine, theAmerican Church of Paris welcomes you for guided tours on Saturday September 20 and Sunday September 21, 2025. A pioneer of American churches outside the United States, it is more precisely a multi-denominational Protestant congregation whose origins date back to 1814.
The Gothic Revival church was built in 1926 on the Quai d'Orsay by architect Carrol Greenough. The sanctuary was consecrated in 1931. The church then became an interdenominational association, open to all those who follow the Apostles' Creed (also known as the "Credo", Latin for "I believe", and different from the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed).
Today, the church is mainly attended by American expatriates and English speakers from all over the world. The building is also home to two bilingual nursery schools, fitness, kung fu and basketball groups, as well as free concerts and other cultural activities. A great opportunity to discover Paris's Franco-American heritage, as well as the building's little-known history!
The American Church is open to the public.
Come and see our two Tiffany stained-glass windows, listed as historic monuments, and the stained-glass windows by Charles J. Connick, an eminent American painter, muralist and designer, best known for his work on stained-glass windows in the Gothic Revival style.
This neo-Gothic church was built in 1926 on the Quai d'Orsay by architect Carrol Greenough. The sanctuary was consecrated in 1931.
