Église Sainte-Marie des Batignolles, Neoclassical church in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Église Sainte-Marie des Batignolles is a Neoclassical church in the Batignolles district of Paris, with a front facade of four Doric columns topped by a triangular pediment. The interior follows the proportions of an ancient Roman basilica, with a clear, symmetrical layout that runs from the entrance to the altar.

Construction started in 1829 as a small chapel serving the then independent village of Batignolles, and the building grew into a full parish church by 1851. This expansion followed the rapid growth of the neighborhood, which was later absorbed into Paris in 1860.

The church is named after Mary of Nazareth, patron saint of the Duchess of Angoulême, who funded the early chapel; a legend also tells of a small Virgin statuette found during foundation work. In 1871, during the Paris Commune, women held meetings here to demand equality with men. The bell, called Etiennette, came from the former neighbouring chapel of Saint-Etienne de Monceau after its demolition in 1828.

The church stands at the northern end of Rue des Batignolles, on Place du Docteur Félix Lobligeois, with the Square des Batignolles directly behind it. The nearest metro stop is Brochant on line 13; Rome and La Fourche are also within walking distance, and Pont-Cardinet station serves the area. The main entrance faces the square through the black metal fence.

Unlike most churches in Paris, this one has no bell tower, which gives the building an unusually flat and solid profile against the sky. This absence is the first thing many visitors notice when they step onto the square and look up at the facade.
