Couvent de l'Annonciation de Paris, Dominican convent in Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, France.

The convent spans over 3,595 square meters at 222 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, featuring a Romano-Byzantine church and residential buildings.

The original convent, established in 1613 under Louis XIII near Rue Saint-Honoré, served as a refuge for Robespierre and the Jacobin Club during the French Revolution.

The convent features an extensive fresco of Christ by James Tissot and maintains a community of 35 Dominican brothers who serve as educators and chaplains.

The church opens daily for prayers, with morning lauds at 8:00 AM and conventional mass at 12:15 PM from Monday through Saturday.

The convent's Art Deco cloister, designed by Thierry Cardot, incorporates twelve hydrangeas symbolizing the apostles around a central circle representing earth-heaven dialogue.
