Saint-Louis Church in Fontainebleau, Historic parish church in Center district, Fontainebleau, France.

Saint-Louis Church stands between Rue de la Paroisse, Rue Grande, Place de la République and the Cour de la Mission in central Fontainebleau. Its light stone facade carries a clock beneath a triangular pediment topped by a small statue, with three statues in niches above the arched entry. A domed lantern tower and statues along the roofline mark the dark sloped roof; inside, a barrel-vaulted ceiling is painted with blue, green and gold geometric panels and medallions.

Marie de Médicis, widow of Henri IV and regent for Louis XIII, had a chapel built between 1611 and 1614 by Claude Matin, dedicated to Saint Louis IX. On 16 November 1661, Louis XIV and Anne of Austria raised it to the status of parish church of Fontainebleau. In 1793 the Jacobin Société populaire turned it into a Temple of Reason and had the royal-baptized bell melted down.

The church has long served as the community's religious center and continues to shape daily life in Fontainebleau today. You can observe people gathering here for worship, making it an active meeting place for residents.

The church sits in the heart of the city and is easy to reach on foot, with clear sightlines from the central square. Visitors should note that regular services take place, so the interior is best explored during or around these times.

The 1701 weathervane from the bell tower, shaped like a rooster, carries inscriptions on both faces recording its restoration in 1877. A marble plaque inaugurated on 24 April 1921 before more than 2,500 people honours parishioners killed in the First World War.
