The 18th century building, this neoclassical cathedral shows the amazing architectural elegance of that time.

The imposing structure evokes the sense of grandeur, which is fitting for the patron saint of France.
While not as renowned as Sacré-Cœur or Notre Dame, the architecture of this church is undeniably striking. It's conveniently located a brief stroll away from the Gare du Nord station. Even if the church happens to be closed, there is ample space to relax outside and appreciate its magnificence.
Invite au recueillement
Must see. Put on your sardine costume. Very, very busy and crowded.
Très belle église a voir pour se ressourcer

A beautiful place is worship. Stained glass, loads of nooks to find a quiet place to contemplate.
It is a beautiful white cathedral spotted at a really high place of the French capital, Paris. From there is possible to see almost whole city.
And to get inside of the edification is possible too, from where you can have even better view of Paris, after climbing the tower. The inside is also nice.
Other nice touristic place of this city!!!

The church was beautiful, had a lovely time. I thought it was nice that I didn’t have to pay to enter. When travelling every little bit adds up, so I am glad I got to experience it!

The area near by is so much fun to walk around and look at the little shops and walking tours. I recommend downloading pre-made google maps tours of the area to save money and see tourist stops for pictures!

So beautiful place ❤️❤️
The cathedral is not far from the Versailles palace but there is almost no people.
Cathedral was quite hard to locate however it was beautiful inside. However no great detail on the life of St Vincent De Paul. I’m a great admirer of his so it was a must see visit for me while in Paris.
Grande église très belle et très bien refaute.
I am unable to describe how beautiful and unique this Basilica is; the pictures don't do it justice. If you travel from another country to visit, it is like winning the lottery and being blessed to be able to be there. The location can get crowded, but it is definitely worth it. The views of the city of Paris are breathtaking. We had to climb up the street stairs; I was out of breath when I reached the top. There are many things to see and enjoy on the way up. I hope you have the opportunity to visit and take as many pictures as you desire. I believe, the John Wick 4 movie was filmed in this location.
Katedralin yeri ve görkemine lafım yok ama yanındaki açık hava kafeleri maalesef saçma sapan bir yerde ve katedrali gezenlere de sıkıntı çıkarır boutta
Paris is full is beautiful church’s, don’t just see the famous ones. The neighborhood Roman Catholic church’s are often open during day for sightseeing. Saint Vincent DePaul Paris, France is within a few minute walk of Gare Du Nord (north station). At 8:45 am there are weekday masses.
Belle église
Muy bonita iglesia. Está ubicada en uno de los barrios más pintorescos de París
It's hard to put into words how much I adore this spot! The sheer beauty of the grand mosaics and captivating architecture inside is breathtaking to say the least. And the location...wow! Perched atop a hill, offering the most spectacular views of the city, it truly is a sight to behold.

Spending time here, simply sitting and soaking in the views of the city spread out beneath me is one of my favorite pastimes. Whether it's watching the hustle and bustle of the city during the day or catching the mesmerizing sunset in the evening, it's an experience that never gets old. 🌇

And if you're a photography enthusiast like me, the surrounding area is a gold mine. There are numerous small spots where you can catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower peeking through the tree branches. It's such a unique perspective and offers a fantastic opportunity for some really creative shots. 📸

All in all, this place is an absolute gem! From the stunning interiors to the panoramic city views and photo ops, it's a must-visit for anyone in the city. I just can't get enough of it! 💗
Une église qui nous réserve bien de belles surprises car si l'extérieur n'est pas si terrible mais, une fois pousser la porte, l'intérieur est vraiment une belle découverte.
L'église est en grès des Vosges de style néo-roman.
Very cathedral, very catholic, very beautiful.
We were not sure if it was worth a visit while in Paris. No doubt, it was worth it. Two drawbacks: First, it is not near the city center (like 30 minutes by subway). Second, you need to be prepared to climb the stairs. Or, you can take a small lift that will take you to the Basilica.

The Basilica itself is stunning. It is free to visit (you only need to pay if you want to go to the dome). I didn't go to the dome. Either way, you will have beautiful panoramic views regardless you go to the dome or not.
This place was unexpected. Our tour guide took us here without having known of it prior to going and boy were we surprised how beautiful and amazing it was! From the first time we saw it while walking up through the alley to the time spent walking through the church to admire all the detail we were captivated! And if that wasn’t enough when you walk out you will see some of the best views of Paris! It is well worth the trip! Do some research before going if you require any assistance getting around as there are cobble streets and a steady incline getting to and leaving the area.
Très belle petite église où on va chanter samedi 10 juin 2023. Mais pas une très bonne acoustique.
A beautiful neo gothic style church built in the 1850s by Jean-baptiste Schacre. Beautiful architecture inside and preserved stained glass windows, restored after the damage during the war. Once inside it is amazingly peaceful and serene. The exterior can be viewed in its entirety from parc steinbach giving a lovely view framed by the trees in the park.
C'est la grande église de Neuilly, elle est idéalement placée à la pointe d'un pâté de maisons et donne sur un petit parc.
Elle est propre extérieurement.et bien entretenue intérieurement.
J'aime bien son intérieur et j'y passe de temps en temps.
Si vous passez par là, venez la visiter.
Église de style néo roman en grès rose des Vosges. Elle date du début du 20e siècle.
A very nice cathedral, has a solemn Easter vigil mass here.
Eglise qui a eu un ravalement magnifique à voir extérieur comme intérieur des fidèle toujours présent
Joli.lieu propice au recueillement.

Très belle église ne manque plus à l'appel que les frères chrétiens
Maravillosa iglesia, con un vocalista muy buena, que ameniza las misas. El edificio es fantástico y la iluminación es muy buena, al igual que su calefacción, que hacen el templo más acogedor

Belle retraite spirituelle se terminant aujourd'hui. Chercher Dieu, il n'attends que vous
Lovely church close to the Gare du Nord, with a nice square infront and small gardens to relax in. Nice architecture and lovely area close to the Metro stop Poissonnière and many other sites…
It's a nice break from the crowds of Versailles. Cathedral is very interesting and has a nice balance between art and sacral.
Walked pass this Church but found closed . The architecture of the building have some Roman details but need to verify . It is a nice Church looking from outside . Will visit the interior if have the time .

A church with lovely ornate animals on the outside of the building and very animated looking statues.

At the time of visit, there were parts around the church dug up by an archeology group. Bones were found.

Inside the church, beautiful stained windows are worth seeing.

Beautiful church with distinctive roof tiles. The same type you can find on the Koïfhus.

There was some construction work on one side and the other is a parking.

On the inside, we happened to visit during a ceremony. It definitely added some mystical touch to it.
This is one of the best locations to visit while in Paris. I would say first place, especially if you aren't lazy enough to walk around and inhale the spirit of old Paris. Each time we visit this Basilica we find something new!
Any body didnt protect there , very different :) very nice
C'est une église vraiment magnifique, elle n'est pas excessivement grande mais sincèrement il faut la voir si vous passez à Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. Les vitraux sont superbes et l'orgue ainsi que le chemin de croix sont splendides. À voir absolument ⛪.
Beautiful church inside and out. Not as extravagant as some other French Catholic Churches but stunning all the same. There was a lot of construction which made for less than ideal photos but we still enjoyed our visit.

St. Martin Cathedral is a huge striking edifice set in tiny Colmar old town streets. It dominates the town skyline with its lavish Gothic beauty. The Cathedral was built in 13 and 14 c on the foundations of the previous Church.
Marvelous altar, stained glass and organ.
Today, passing by the church, I felt the need to enter and have a moment of prayer. I was very impressed by the beauty of this church, how beautiful it is maintained.
C'est la deuxième église de la paroisse d'Alfortville. L'accueil est ouvert le samedi matin de 10h00 🕙 à 12h00 🕛. Les messes sont célèbres le dimanche à 9h30🕤 et le mercredi à 19h00 🕖.

What a unit! This church at the center is mighty impressive.

We were only able to view the church from the outside, but even so, it's well worth visiting.

The plaza surrounding it is filled with interesting landmarks and pleasant cafes.

Ah-maze-zing church! The architecture that went into this church is incredible. What’s even more beautiful are the church bells as your standing right in front of the church. I was amazed to say the least. Definitely worth seeing if you are in Colmar.
Lieux pleins de souvenirs, baptême communion confirmation mariage et malheureusement deuils. Il ne reste quand même un lieux magnifique. Allez la voir il y a la date de construction sur la façade

Très jolie église entièrement rénové, le curé auquel je me suis adressé à été sympathique, dévoué et à l'écoute après la messe qu'il avait donner sans même avoir pris rdv.
🙏👍👏👏
The church was built during 1824–44, on the site of the ancient Saint-Lazare prison enclosure. In that enclosure had been located the Maison Saint-Lazare, occupied by Vincent de Paul— it was here that he lived and worked— and afterwards by the Congrégation de la Mission, from 1632 to 1793.

The church's design and the initial phases of its construction were entrusted to Jean-Baptiste Lepère, a French architect of modest reputation. The first stone was laid in August 1824 in the presence of the préfet de la Seine Gaspard de Chabrol and the archbishop of Paris Mgr de Quélen. Work proceeded slowly, and was repeatedly abandoned, being especially delayed because of a lack of credit as a result of the 1830 Revolution. Thus it was Lepère's son-in-law, Jacques Hittorff, who finally followed the project through from 1831 to 1844. The building opened for worship on 25 October 1844.

The nave and apse from the west end tribune
Hittorff massively modified the initial plans (which did not plan for even one tower), with his church opening onto the Place Franz-Liszt, giving the building a church square. He also added a system of ramps, laid out today in gardens, to aid access by horse-drawn carriages.
Super lieu de Prière
Petite église très belle .très vivante et chaleureuse grâce à son prêtre très impliqué,ce fut un beau moment de partage

Très belle église , en rénovation, c'est agréable de voir la ville en prendre soin
These old majestic buildings literally take your breath away as you walk inside. Well worth visiting - and it was free!
Très belle église dont l'extérieur viens d 'être restauré tout comme la petite placette autour. A l' Intérieur un bel orgue un beau plafond orné de lustres en cristal à pendeloques et de beaux vitraux colorés ainsi que de belles statues... Un beau monument historique et un beau lieu de prière....
Extérieur arrière c'est pas jolie jolie.... Façade avant propre idéal pour les amateurs de photographie.
Une église très moderne, construite il y a 10 ans. L'ambiance plus que correcte. Tous les dimanches et fêtes à 9h30...
Very beautiful cathedral ; the interiors are one of the best we have seen ; a must visit if you are around
A church like an other one
Superbe endroit
Entièrement rénové

Il y a forcément une bonne nouvelle
Église au top, intérieur et extérieur cela change le coeur de Bondy. Un autre appect et approche de l'église avec son Sas, les portes restent ouvertes nous pouvons admirer sont intérieur. Son curé énergique à su redonner de l'énergie à ses chrétiens.
A very beautiful and holy church in Paris. I was blessed to participate in the Mass at 6.30 pm Sunday Mass in French. The beautiful paintings around the church walls add more beauty by facilitating to holy serenity for pray and meeting the Lord..
May GOD bless and touch everyone who enters to meet the Lord in this church..
Muito bonita e moderna
It’s my fav place in Neuilly to met friends :) I wouldn’t recommend it during lunch time employees from the avenue Charle de Gaulle overrun Neuilly hahah but the majority of these people are really nice and they always treat the places with respect so during that time it’s really crowded but like I said these are really nice and openminded always open for a chat :) it’s amazing that neuilly turns into a melting pot once a day :) I found a lot of great friends outside my house it’s a romantic area for couples especially during autumn I highly recommend a stroll through Neuilly sur seine if u need a Pause from the loud center of Paris.
Nice cathedral, plenty to see inside. Didn't realise Presbyterianism was this big in France.
