Église Saint-Philippe-du-Roule, Neoclassical church in 8th arrondissement, France

The Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church features twin rows of columns extending along the nave and around the apse, supporting a coffered barrel-vault ceiling.

Architect Jean Chalgrin constructed the church between 1774 and 1784, replacing an earlier religious building that was demolished in 1739.

The church vault received decorative paintings by artist Chassérian in 1855, while Claudius Jacquand contributed additional artistic elements to the interior.

Located at 154 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, the church is directly accessible from Saint-Philippe-du-Roule metro station on line 9.

The church design incorporates the layout of Roman basilicas, making it the first Parisian church to adopt this architectural arrangement for Christian services.
