Église Saint-Hilaire de Givet, Classical church in Givet, France.

Église Saint-Hilaire is a classical church on Place Carnot in Givet, built entirely of local blue stone. Its northwest tower rises in four sections to a slate spire, while the southeast end has a five-sided apse; the nave has five window bays and the choir three. A street, the Rue de la Fausse-Porte, runs beneath the choir through a stone vault.

A church dedicated to Saint Hilary is first documented in 832. French troops under Marshal de Créquy destroyed it in 1675; rebuilding in local blue stone began in 1682, and the nave and facade were finished in 1683. Damaged again by the 1696 bombardment, it reopened on 20 August 1698, and the choir, built by contractor Jean Laurent, was completed in 1702.

The 18th-century carved woodwork, including 23 panels, came from Givet's former Recollet convent. In the choir, panels between the pillars show Franciscan martyrs and scenes from sacred history; in the nave, pilaster panels frame the confessionals. The church keeps the reliquary bust of Saint Hilaire and Louis XIV-style choir stalls.

The church welcomes visitors on Place Carnot in the heart of Givet's left bank and is easy to locate. The building is currently undergoing restoration work with new stained glass windows, so visitors should expect possible construction barriers or scaffolding.

The bell tower's shape drew a mocking description from Victor Hugo after his 1838 visit to Givet: he likened its stacked forms to a square cap, an upturned salad bowl, a sugar bowl, a bottle and a sun, with a rooster on top. The architect of the church is unknown; the design is sometimes attributed to Vauban, probably wrongly.
