Saint-Roch, Parish church in Palais-Royal, Paris, France

The Saint-Roch church extends 126 meters along Rue Saint-Honoré, featuring a baroque facade with marble elements from Caunes-Minervois quarries.

Louis XIV placed the first stone in 1653, marking the beginning of construction under architect Jacques Lemercier, which continued until its completion in 1754.

The interior contains numerous chapels decorated with sculptures and murals, plus tombs of notable figures including Denis Diderot and Pierre Corneille.

The church holds regular masses in both Latin and French, with additional services scheduled on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings.

Napoleon Bonaparte used the church steps as a strategic position during the 13 Vendémiaire conflict, firing upon royalist insurgents in 1795.
