Saint-Jacques Saint-Christophe de la Villette

The Saint-Jacques Saint-Christophe church features a two-level portico with Corinthian pilasters and niches containing patron saint statues on its facade.

The church construction began in 1844 on land previously used for grain and fruit cultivation along an ancient Roman road to Santiago de Compostela.

The interior displays Renaissance baptismal fonts, an 1844 marble pulpit, and stained glass windows from the Champigneulle workshop depicting saints and biblical scenes.

Visitors can access the church through Crimée metro station on line 7 or Laumière station on line 5, with opening hours from 8:30 AM to 7:45 PM.

The church houses an 1860 Suret organ that received a third keyboard in 2002 through electrification of note transmission systems.
