Notre-Dame de Consolation church
Notre-Dame de Consolation is the world's first church built entirely of reinforced concrete. A major work by architect Auguste Perret, it celebrated its centenary on June 18, 2023.
Listed as a Monument Historique since 1966, it is recognized the world over as an emblematic landmark of 20th-century architecture, under the title of "La Sainte Chapelle du béton armé" (the Holy Chapel of reinforced concrete), so named by Le Corbusier.
On this tour, discover the work of a bold, innovative architect and renowned artists Maurice Denis, Antoine Bourdelle and Marguerite Huré.
With the restoration of the bell tower recently completed, the building has been given a facelift to celebrate its centenary!
You'll be welcomed by volunteers from the RESTAURER association, who'll be delighted to share their passion with you.

During this tour, discover how a daring, innovative architect and renowned artists - Maurice Denis, Antoine Bourdelle and Marguerite Huré - succeeded in building a monument in just thirteen months!
Your guide will explain how Auguste Perret combined his talents as an architect with the performance of reinforced concrete to design a large-scale religious edifice on a particularly tight budget.
He'll also introduce you to Marguerite Huré's magnificent set of stained glass windows, which adorn the entire wall of the church, flooding it with color. Particular attention will be paid to the ten figurative stained-glass windows designed by Maurice Denis, including the one commemorating the departure of the Marne cabs bound for the Battle of the Ourcq.
Volunteers from the association RESTAURER Notre-Dame du Raincy will share their passion with you on this guided tour.

### Historic monuments in Seine-Saint-Denis
From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, the Seine-Saint-Denis region was home to a wide variety of buildings. Whether through their construction techniques, the materials used, the use of pioneering or innovative building models, or the renown of their architects, they are all part of our cultural heritage today.
The Grange aux Dîmes in Tremblay-en-France, the Church of the Old Carmel in Saint-Denis, the Château de Saint-Ouen and the Poudrerie in Sevran are just some of the Monuments Historiques on offer.
