Chapelle de Jésus-Enfant, Gothic Revival chapel in 7th arrondissement, France
The Chapelle de Jésus-Enfant features a polychrome wooden vault ceiling, narrow side aisles separated by balustrades, and a gilded bronze altar by Jean-Alexandre Chertier.
Architect Hippolyte Destailleur constructed this chapel between 1878 and 1881 to provide space for children attending catechism classes at Sainte-Clotilde parish.
The ceramic centerpiece above the altar depicts the Coronation of the Virgin, following the artistic influence of Fra Angelico's painting housed at the Louvre.
The chapel contains a Cavaillé-Coll organ from 1830, transferred from Carmes-Billettes convent and restored in 1988 with 21 stops and two manual keyboards.
Former French President Jacques Chirac married Bernadette Chodron de Courcel in this chapel on March 16, 1956, before his political career.
