Paris is overflowing with architectural treasures, and the capital's churches are no exception! For this 40th edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, most of them are opening their doors on the weekend of September 16 to let you discover their history. This is the case, for example, of theÉglise de la Sainte-Trinité, which awaits you for guided tours on Saturday, September 16, 2023.
The tours are a bit special, since they involve a tour of the work in progress on the main facade. Built between 1861 and 1867 by architect Théodore Ballu during the Second Empire. At 30 meters high (65 meters with the bell tower), it was designed to be seen from theOpéra Garnier. The church was consecrated well after its construction, in 1913, and was also listed as a historic monument in 1977, only to be classified in January 2016.
The church is best known for having celebrated the funerals of Rossini,Hector Berlioz and George Bizet. As part of the Journées du Patrimoine, a visit to the construction site is an opportunity to discover and understand the progress and challenges of the restoration. You are also invited to meet the craftsmen working on the site, and in particular the stonemasons, who will talk to you about their trade. [midroll]
