Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons

Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons is a Neo-Gothic church with two tall towers and a three-part vertical facade that rises prominently in the district. The interior space is defined by soaring vaults and filled with an organ and decorative furnishings.

Construction of this building took place between 1874 and 1880, replacing a Carmelite convent that had occupied the site since 1721. The project reflected the needs of the expanding local community during the 19th century.

The church features decorative windows and altars that reflect the artistic choices made for this congregation. You can observe craftsmanship throughout the interior that shaped how people gathered and worshipped here.

The interior is accessible and you can move through it at a comfortable pace to see all the main features. Take time to look upward to appreciate the height and construction details that define the space.

The sacristy preserves 18th-century wooden furnishings that came from the earlier convent on this site. These handcrafted pieces connect the current space to its religious past.
