Église Notre-Dame de Lourdes, Catholic church in Haut Ménilmontant, 20th arrondissement of Paris, France
Église Notre-Dame de Lourdes is a church in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, built in 1980 according to a design by architect Jean Vidal. The building sits within a residential complex and features contemporary stained glass windows with religious imagery throughout its interior.
An original church stood at this location from 1910 before being replaced by the new building completed in 1980. The redesign combined the religious structure with adjacent residential space.
The church displays a 1988 bas-relief of Notre-Dame de Lourdes by G. Candelier and eleven stations of the Cross with distinct illustrations.
The entrance on Rue Pelleport is easy to locate and opens into a straightforward interior space. You can visit during daylight hours and explore the nave and its decorative elements without obstacles.
The windows on the right side depict in modern style the Lourdes apparitions, including Mary's message to Bernadette to drink from a spring. These stained glass works visually tell the story of these important religious events.
