Saint-François de Molitor

The Saint-François de Molitor church features an elliptical shape with three monumental wooden doors and white marble from Kavala adorning its exterior walls.

The church replaced a Capuchin chapel from 1941, and Archbishop André Vingt-Trois consecrated the new building during an official ceremony in March 2005.

The interior follows Second Vatican Council principles with minimalist design, containing a white tabernacle box and limited religious decorations throughout the space.

Located near Roland Garros tennis stadium, the church accommodates 1,500 weekly attendees and includes an electronic organ above the central entrance.

The building's semi-translucent marble exterior walls allow natural light to filter through, creating varying illumination patterns throughout different times of day.
