Église du Sacré-Cœur de Cholet, Romano-Byzantine church in Cholet, France.

The église du Sacré-Cœur de Cholet is a Romano-Byzantine church on boulevard Guy Chouteau, built 1937–1941 to plans by Maurice Laurentin. Its reinforced concrete frame is clad in brick, orange Pineau schist, pink granite from Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges and blue granite from Vezins. The basilical plan is crowned by a dome with a small spire and cross; the facade has grouped rounded-arch windows and gabled stone porches.

The building was constructed between 1937 and 1941 under architect Maurice Laurentin and funded entirely through donations from local families and residents. This construction represented a major community effort that showed the commitment of the local population.

The great interior fresco takes its theme from John 12:32, "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself," chosen by Abbé Louis Cesbron, the future parish priest. The baptismal chapel and panels near the confessionals were painted by Henri Génévrier, known as Grand'Aigle, a artist who stayed in Cholet during the Occupation. The Saint-Joseph altar is all wood, shaped like a carpenter's workbench, with wooden candles and planes-shaped candlesticks.

The church stands on boulevard Guy Chouteau in the Terre-Jaune district. In summer, volunteers take turns showing visitors the building and its carillon; no fixed schedule is given, so confirm times locally before coming. The 2012 work on the spire and the 2016 restoration of the windows followed earlier repairs.

The carillon's 39 original bells, cast by the Paccard foundry of Annecy, were blessed on 15 December 1940 before 39 godfathers and 39 godmothers, and first rung at Pentecost on 1 June 1941. Complaints about Sunday-afternoon playing during the siesta left it silent for decades until its 2011 restoration.
