Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, Minor basilica in Quartier Vivienne, Paris, France.
Notre-Dame-des-Victoires is a baroque church in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, recognizable by its curved dome and tall interior space. The building features columns and arches that define its architectural period.
King Louis XIII commissioned the church in 1629 to give thanks for his victory over Protestant forces at La Rochelle. The name itself reflects this military triumph and the gratitude that inspired its creation.
The basilica serves as a place where people leave votive offerings on its walls, personal tokens of faith left by visitors seeking spiritual connection. These gifts create a touching display of private devotion across centuries.
The church sits within walking distance of Bourse metro station and is accessible to visitors. Plan time to quietly observe the votive offerings and explore the interior without rushing.
During the French Revolution, the church briefly served as both a lottery office and stock exchange. This unexpected use shows how dramatically institutions changed during that tumultuous period.
