Saint-François-de-Sales Church, Catholic church in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Saint-François-de-Sales Church is a Catholic church in the 17th arrondissement of Paris with a central nave topped by a dome. The building features a compact interior with ornamental ironwork throughout its spaces and structure.
Construction of this church took place between 1747 and 1748, funded independently by the Bandol community who initiated the project in 1746. The rapid completion reflects how important this religious building was to the local residents.
The church features intricate wrought iron work by Edgar Brandt that blends religious architecture with detailed craftsmanship throughout the interior. This metalwork gives the space a distinctive visual character that sets it apart from simpler church designs.
The church is open to visitors throughout the year and welcomes guests during its regular hours. It helps to check when services take place, as these may affect when you can walk around freely.
Two side chapels were added to the main nave, with one built by the Saint-Elme Fraternity of Fishermen and another by the Saint Vincent de Paul fraternity. These additions show how different community groups helped shape the space according to their own traditions.
