Chapelle de Jésus-Enfant, Gothic Revival chapel in the 7th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Chapelle de Jésus-Enfant is a Gothic Revival chapel at 29 Rue Las-Cases in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Its light tan stone facade has a steep gable with a pointed-arch window divided into two lancets and a quatrefoil, above dark double doors. Inside, a broken-barrel wooden vault with painted coffers is inspired by Westminster Hall, and the apse holds a ceramic Crowning of the Virgin after Fra Angelico.

Architect Hippolyte Destailleur designed this chapel between 1878 and 1881 as a teaching space for children. It was originally meant to serve the Sainte-Clotilde parish and was built in the Gothic Revival style of the era.

The chapel is also called the chapelle des catéchismes, since it was built to hold catechism classes for children of the Sainte-Clotilde parish. In the apse, a ceramic retable by the workshops of Gaston Virebent reproduces Fra Angelico's Crowning of the Virgin, and below it stand terracotta figures by Clément d'Astanières, among them Saint Clotilde and Saint Cécile.

The chapel stands at 29 Rue Las-Cases, a short walk from the Sainte-Clotilde basilica, in the 7th arrondissement. It is a working parish chapel rather than a museum, so visits depend on the catechism and Mass schedule; check with the parish of Sainte-Clotilde before coming. The entrance is through the dark double doors under the gable on the street facade.

On 16 March 1956, Jacques Chirac, president of France from 1995 to 2007, married Bernadette Chodron de Courcel in this chapel, years before he held any elected office. The wedding took place in a building made for catechism classes, not for parish ceremonies.
