On the occasion of the 40th edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, theAmerican Church of Paris welcomes you for guided tours on Saturday, September 16, 2023. A pioneer of American churches outside the U.S., 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 Franco-American heritage in Paris, as well as the building's little-known history!
