Built in 1653, it was only between 1750 and 1770, that the interior of the Church was completed by top artists: Falconet, Vien, Doyen, Boullée. Today still, this church shelters a great number of works of art, paintings and sculptures, rescued from other churches destroyed during the tumult of the French Revolution. Each one of its inside chapels is a small museum.

I think you're quite right about little museums. Eglise St Roch is one of the very special places in this world.
How I would love to visit Eglise St Roch! But at least I have your beautiful captures and it does look like a very special place! Hope your weekend is going well, mon amie! Enjoy!

The golden light on the butressed stone arched vaults, the jewel tone oils and gilt of the paintings...just lovely, Genie...thank you!
