Église Notre-Dame-des-Passes d'Arcachon

The Notre-Dame-des-Passes church features a central dome, round arches, and decorative mosaics that represent essential elements of Byzantine architectural design.

Louis Garros designed this religious structure during the late 19th century when Byzantine Revival architecture gained recognition across Western Europe.

The church functions as a center for religious ceremonies and community gatherings, maintaining French Catholic traditions in the Arcachon region.

Visitors can access the church through the main entrance on Boulevard du Général Leclerc, with regular mass services held throughout the week.

The church combines Eastern Orthodox architectural influences with local French building techniques, resulting in distinctive geometric patterns and structural elements.
