Convent of the Annunciation, Dominican convent in Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, France.

The Convent of the Annunciation is a Dominican convent at 222 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, built around a neo-Romanesque church of 1876-1877 set back in the courtyard, 50 by 20 metres, with a six-bay nave of columns and carved capitals. A pale stone facade with arched openings and a round window faces the street; inside, a stone arcade of four rounded arches on thick columns runs beside rows of wooden benches.

The Dominicans bought the property at 222 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré on 28 October 1874, converting a private mansion's library into a chapel; the conventual church was built in 1876-1877 in the courtyard, with no facade on the street. The friars were expelled in 1880 under a Jules Ferry decree and again in 1901; the church became the Salle Albert Le Grand before reopening in 1896. The Amis des dominicains repurchased the shares in 1922, allowing expansion over the former grounds of sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon, and an Art Deco cloister was added.

The convent church holds a Christ Pantocrator painted by James Tissot in the half-dome of the apse, with nine painted shrubs in niches below representing medieval symbolic plants such as the vine, oak and laurel. The community numbers 35 friars, working as teachers, doctors, lawyers for the poor and chaplains. In 1955-1960 the Dominicans here created the world's first televised Sunday Mass.

Visitors can enter the church during prayer times and religious services throughout the day. It is best to check the schedule beforehand and wear respectful clothing, as this is an active place of worship.

The square cloister garden was laid out in the 21st century by landscape architect Thierry Cardot, not in the 20th century. Its planting follows biblical symbols, and the central stone represents a mountain from which four rivers flow. The cloister building itself, rebuilt around 1928, has Art Deco arched windows with geometric stained glass.
