The Scots Kirk, Presbyterian church building near Champs-Élysées, Paris, France
The Scots Kirk stands in a contemporary building with apartments above, situated near the Champs-Élysées in central Paris. Artistic screens created by sculptor Jacqueline Stieger decorate the interior of the worship space.
Queen Elizabeth II laid the foundation stone for an earlier building on this site in 1957. The present structure was completed and opened in 2002 as a replacement for the previous church.
The congregation here gathers people from many countries who worship in English and follow Presbyterian traditions. It serves as a meeting place for an international community seeking spiritual connection in a foreign city.
The church sits on Rue Bayard within walking distance of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau metro stations. The central location makes it easy to reach on foot and well connected to public transportation.
Scottish runner Eric Liddell preached here in 1924 instead of competing in Sunday events at the Olympic Games. His choice reflected his religious convictions and became part of the church's remarkable history.
