St. Didier's church of Villiers-le-Bel

The church follows a cross-shaped layout with a nave of four bays, accompanied by two side aisles and a non-protruding transept.

The construction started in the early 13th century with a western facade and south aisle, followed by major renovations between 1486 and 1498.

The church houses a polychrome marble altarpiece from 1538, created by Parisian sculptor Nicolas Prévost, featuring four individually classified statues.

The church reopened in 2011 after eight years of restoration work, which cost two million euros and included foundation repairs and interior renovations.

The original organ installed in 1664 maintains 98 percent of its initial pipes despite multiple modifications throughout the 18th century.
