Église Saint-Médard de Clichy, Medieval church in Clichy, France.
Description
Église Saint-Médard de Clichy is a church built with a Latin cross layout, a single nave, and a massive square tower that has a large blind arch at its base. The building sits on Boulevard Jean Jaurès and is physically connected to the adjoining Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church next to it.
History
A church with this name first appeared on this site during the 13th century. The current building was reconstructed in 1525 and then modified between 1622 and 1630 by Vincent de Paul.
Culture
Inside you will find a white marble statue of Vincent de Paul holding a child, originally made for the Pantheon and moved here in 1943. The statue shows how this saint is honored in the community and how his legacy connects to the parish today.
Practical
The building is easy to find on Boulevard Jean Jaurès in central Clichy and is well served by public transport. You can visit without needing any special arrangements, though you may want to check local visiting hours in advance.
Did you know?
The original structure had an apse that was removed to make room for the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church that was built beside it. This change created an unusual perpendicular arrangement between the two connected buildings.
