Église Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois de Fontenay-sous-Bois
Église Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois de Fontenay-sous-Bois, Catholic church in Fontenay-sous-Bois, France.
The Église Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois is a Catholic church with a western facade built in the 18th century and a bell tower whose base dates to medieval times. The interior holds a retable featuring two Baroque paintings of the Holy Family and Saint Sebastian, discovered during roof renovation work.
The church was founded in the 13th century and developed through several centuries of building work. A Paris stonemason named Jean Arcillon completed the nave vaulting between 1555 and 1556, marking a key phase in the structure's construction history.
The name honors a 6th-century saint venerated as protector against plague in medieval times. Visitors today can observe how the interior decoration reflects the religious devotion of the local community across different periods.
The church is located on Rue de Rosny and is easy to reach on foot. A nearby office provides information about regular services and community gatherings held throughout the year.
The stained glass windows from the early 1900s feature an unusual subject: the 42nd Infantry Regiment based in Belfort. This artwork blends religious devotion with local military pride in a remarkable way.
