Ancienne Chapelle Saint-Yves de Paris, Medieval chapel in Latin Quarter, Paris, France.
The Saint-Yves Chapel stood at the corner of rue Saint-Jacques and rue des Noyers, featuring two pointed towers flanking its main portal.
King John II of France laid the chapel's foundation stone in 1352, one year after local residents established a confraternity dedicated to Saint Yves.
The chapel served as a central gathering point for Breton legal professionals in Paris, housing sacred relics including a rib and finger of Saint Yves.
The religious structure measured 38 meters in length and 12 meters in width, with a rectangular window added to the upper facade in the 1700s.
The chapel maintained the official title of Royal Church of Saint Yves, as evidenced by its seal inscription Sigillum ecclesiae regiae Sancti Yvonis Parisius.
