Saint-Louis d'Antin Parish

Local name: Paroisse Saint-Louis d'Antin

The church of Saint Louis in the Antin district is a small, classicist temple with a spreading, low facade with two extreme breaks. The interior, covered with barrel vault, is covered with polychrome. A small presbytery with an altar and a picture of the Crucifixion is finished with a semicircle.

The church was built shortly before the outbreak of the French Revolution for the Capuchin order. In the early nineteenth century it became a parish temple. It is a three-nave building, low, without a tower. The facade is quite long, with two extreme projections topped with tympanums. The middle part is lower, without decorations, only with a column portal surrounding the entrance.

The interior is bright and airy. In the vault above the presbytery a figure of Christ was placed on the throne and saints worshiping him. The walls are decorated with polychromes and paintings from the era. Nineteenth century stained glass windows have survived in the naves.
