Église Saint-Christophe-de-Javel

The church features reinforced concrete construction with Gothic-inspired architecture, including slender columns and decorative concrete moldings throughout the structure.

Built between 1926 and 1930 to replace a wooden chapel from 1864, the church responded to population growth near automotive factories in the Javel district.

The church displays Art Deco frescoes by Henri-Marcel Magne depicting Saint Christopher with modern transportation, reflecting the neighborhood's industrial character.

Located at 4 rue Saint-Christophe, the church maintains regular services and stands near the intersection of rue de la Convention.

Architect Charles-Henri Besnard used prefabricated concrete panels through a patented technique developed after 1918 for the church's construction.
