Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette de Paris, Modern Catholic church in 15th arrondissement, Paris, France
Description
The Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette is a modern church in Paris with sixteen pillars supporting a circular vault. Geometric stained glass windows fill the interior with light, arranged at oblique angles to enhance natural illumination.
History
An original chapel built in 1858 by the Brethren of Saint Vincent de Paul for an orphanage once stood on this location. The current modern building replaced this earlier structure starting in 1965.
Culture
The walnut door at the entrance, carved by Jean-Marie Baumel, depicts Christ and the Virgin of La Salette with two child witnesses. This artwork shapes the entrance experience and tells a story of a Marian apparition through its figures.
Practical
The church stands between Dantzig and Cronstadt streets, with the main entrance accessible through an archway from Rue de Cronstadt. Visitors can locate it easily as it sits in a residential area with clear street markers.
Did you know?
The structure required deep masonry anchoring into solid rock because it was built above abandoned underground quarries. This unusual foundation reveals an engineering solution for a challenging base beneath Paris.
