Église Sainte-Geneviève des Grandes Carrières

Église Sainte-Geneviève des Grandes Carrières, Gothic Revival church in 18th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Église Sainte-Geneviève des Grandes Carrières is a church at 174 rue Championnet in the 18th arrondissement, built in meulière stone and cement. Its interior has a tall central nave with ribbed vaults on smooth columns, round arches opening to side aisles, dark wooden chairs along a tiled aisle, and a raised sanctuary with a pale altar beneath a tall stained-glass window depicting the Crucifixion and the life of Saint Geneviève, made by Mauméjean.

Construction began in 1888, but the parish was only established on 9 February 1907 by a decree of Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris. The church was enlarged between 1908 and 1910 with the addition of side aisles and a bell tower. It is built of millstone and cement.

The parish grew out of the Championnet patronage, a busy lay and sporting centre in this working-class quarter near the former "Zone"; it is now the Association Championnet. The parish was founded in 1907, and the painter Émile Hirsch was among its lay founders and donors. His daughter Marie Hirsch founded the first Paris group of the Guides de France.

This location on Rue Championnet is easily accessible by metro, particularly via Guy Môquet station nearby. Visitors should check if doors are open or call ahead, as access depends on service times.

The organ was built by Cavaillé-Coll in 1890 for the Berlioz hall on rue de Clichy; Charles Mutin transferred it here in 1909, adding an expressive positif. It has three 56-note manuals, a 30-note pedalboard, mechanical action and 22 stops.
