Saint-Martin de Meudon, Catholic church in Meudon, France.
Saint-Martin de Meudon is a Catholic church in Meudon featuring a classical western facade and a bell tower dating to the early 18th century. The interior is organized with a four-section nave flanked by side aisles, creating a structured spatial arrangement.
The church underwent significant transformation during the Renaissance period when the choir section was rebuilt between 1540 and 1580. Roughly a century later, around 1682, the main structure received major renovation work aligned with contemporary architectural practices.
The name comes from Saint Martin of Tours, a venerated figure in French religious tradition. The church remains a gathering place where the local community marks important moments in their lives.
The church is located on République Street in Meudon and welcomes visitors during opening hours. As an active place of worship, guests should be aware of service times and dress respectfully when entering.
The church has a notable connection to François Rabelais, the celebrated French writer who was appointed as parish priest in 1551. Historical records suggest he likely never actually performed any duties at the position.
