To mark the 40th Journées du Patrimoine, the Saint-Vincent-De-Paul church will welcome visitors for free guided or self-guided tours on Sunday, September 17, 2023.

Attention architecture lovers... For the 40th edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, theSaint-Vincent-De-Paul church welcomes the curious and lovers of art and history for tours on Sunday, September 17, 2023. Built between 1824 and 1844 for a rapidly expanding neighborhood by Jacques Ignace Hittorff, thechurch bears the name of a 17th-century figure of spiritual and apostolic renewal.

With its dominant antique, Greek and Roman forms and Byzantine-style interior, the church is famous for its long frieze of Christian saints painted by Hyppolyte Flandrin in the nave, and for its large Christ in Majesty by François Édouard Picot on the choir vault. A beautiful work to be admired for the occasion.

For the Journées du Patrimoine, you are invited to visit the church freely or take part in guided tours on Sundays from 2pm to 6pm. Please note that the tribunes are exceptionally accessible for the occasion, to contemplate the friezes byHyppolyte Flandrin. You can also access the terrace to admire the Paris skyline. An opportunity to take some great photos of the city. Shall we go, friends?
