St. Anne's Church, Saint-Benoît
St. Anne's Church, Saint-Benoît, Catholic church in Saint-Benoît, Réunion Island, France.
The church building features cement moldings, gargoyles, and religious sculptures throughout its exterior and interior architectural design.
Construction of the Catholic church began in 1857 under Monsignor Desprez and Abbé Cornet, with its inauguration taking place in 1863.
The church gained additional recognition when it served as a filming location for François Truffaut's movie featuring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Catherine Deneuve.

Father Daubenberger personally created many of the church's decorative elements using thin penknives to craft intricate details in the cement work.
