Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Consolation, Memorial chapel in 8th arrondissement, France.
Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Consolation is a chapel in Paris featuring neo-baroque decoration and memorial cenotaph urns arranged throughout the nave. A dove symbol appears above the main altar as a focal point.
The chapel was built in 1901 by architect Albert Guilbert on the site of the former Bazar de la Charité. This location witnessed a devastating fire in 1897 that claimed 117 lives.
The chapel displays stained glass windows depicting the Virgin of Pity and the Assumption of Mary, drawn from Albert Maignan's designs. These religious scenes shape the interior and create a reverent space for visitors.
The chapel is located on rue Jean Goujon and accommodates roughly 150 people in the main space and another 150 in the crypt below. Respectful dress and quiet behavior are expected as this remains an active place of worship.
Display cases inside preserve artifacts recovered from the Bazar de la Charité fire, making the material history of the disaster tangible. Memorial plaques with the names of all 117 victims remind each visitor of this tragic moment.
