Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc du Touquet-Paris-Plage, Catholic church in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, France

Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc is a Catholic church on Avenue de la Paix in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, built in rough stone blocks with Neo-Romanesque elements. Its main facade has a pointed-arch portal with red-brick trim and a circular rose window under a red-brick arch; a square stone tower with twin arched openings rises to the right, capped by a slate spire and cross. A lower aisle runs along the left side.

The first Catholic chapel here, Saint-André, dates from 1886 and stood on the site of the present post office; it was soon too small despite six Sunday masses. A 2,405 m² plot was sold for one symbolic franc, and the new church by architect Lucien Viraut opened for worship on 14 July 1911. Bombing on 4 June 1944 destroyed the choir, transept, windows and marble altars; rebuilding lasted until the consecration of 7 June 1954.

The church owes its name to British women who regretted that Joan of Arc had been burned by the English; it was the first church in France dedicated to her, after her canonisation in 1920. The stained-glass windows show the life of Jesus and that of Joan of Arc, while the choir depicts the mysteries of the rosary.

The church stands on Avenue de la Paix, with its porch facing the street that continues rue Jean-Monnet (formerly Grande-Rue) and its apse toward the avenue. The site covers 2,405 m², and the building is owned by the commune. The right transept was extended between 1957 and 1958 to add a side chapel, so allow time to walk around the exterior.

The dedication to Joan of Arc was proposed by British women who regretted that the English had burned her alive. The church, consecrated in 1911, became the first in France dedicated to her, before her canonization in 1920.
