Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal, Byzantine Revival church in 16th arrondissement, France.
Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal is a church in the 16th arrondissement featuring curved arches, rounded domes, and decorative mosaics in Byzantine style. The building demonstrates how traditional Eastern architectural forms were adapted into a modern French structure.
The church was built in 1962 during Paris's post-war architectural renewal period. Its construction showed how traditional Byzantine style elements could be integrated into contemporary French building practices.
The interior reveals a blend of Eastern Orthodox artistic traditions with Western European religious design through its iconography and symbolic decorations. This combination creates a different atmosphere from typical French church spaces.
The building is well connected by public transportation in the neighborhood and welcomes visitors daily. The church is easy to enter and explore at your own pace to observe its architectural features.
This is one of very few Byzantine style churches built in Paris during the twentieth century's modernization wave. The uncommon architectural choice made it stand apart from typical post-war construction projects in the city.
