Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix, Baroque church in Picpus district, 12th arrondissement, France.

The Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix Chapel features a bell tower and stained glass windows created by master glassmaker Bertrand following a parish committee selection process.

The chapel, constructed in 1966 by architects Jean L'Hernault and Riquier, received its blessing on March 19, 1967, from Bishop Malbois of Corbeil-Essonnes.

The chapel maintained connections with the Picpus Cemetery, where General La Fayette and numerous victims of the 1794 Terror period rest.

The building accommodated 400 seated visitors and included a partition system that created two catechism classrooms within its main volume.

The bell tower contained a bell from Herbillon, a parish in Algeria under the Constantine diocese, establishing a connection between French and North African religious heritage.
