The Scots Kirk, Presbyterian church building near Champs-Élysées, Paris, France

The Scots Kirk occupies a modern building with residential apartments above, featuring artistic screens crafted by sculptor Jacqueline Stieger in the heart of Paris.

Queen Elizabeth II placed the foundation stone for the previous sanctuary in 1957, while the current structure opened its doors in 2002.

The congregation maintains Presbyterian traditions while conducting English-language services for an international community of worshippers from different nationalities throughout Paris.

Located at 17 rue Bayard in the 8th arrondissement, the church stands within walking distance from Franklin D. Roosevelt and Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau metro stations.

During the 1924 Olympic Games, athlete Eric Liddell chose to preach at this church instead of participating in Sunday competitions.
