Église Notre-Dame-de-Chine, Roman Catholic church in 13th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Église Notre-Dame-de-Chine is a Catholic church in the 13th arrondissement of Paris that blends contemporary French architecture with Chinese artistic design throughout its spaces. The building combines traditional religious forms with decorative influences that reflect both Western and East Asian traditions.
Built in 2005 by architect François Payen, this was the first Catholic church created specifically for Paris's Chinese community. The building marked an important shift in how the city accommodated the religious needs of its growing Asian population.
Services here are conducted in both Chinese and French, bringing together two communities in a single place of worship. Visitors can experience how these languages shape the rhythm of prayers and celebrations throughout the year.
The church welcomes visitors during standard daytime hours and offers weekly services for both prayer and worship. It is best to check ahead for specific service times, especially if you wish to attend masses in either Chinese or French.
The interior displays a rare fusion of Catholic religious symbols alongside Chinese artistic elements woven throughout the decoration and artwork. This combination is not merely decorative but reflects the lived experience of the community that gathers there.
