Eglise de la Sainte-Trinité
This church is known simply as La Trinité or Sainte-Trinité, built
between 1861 and 1867 as part of the beautification and reorganization
of Paris by Haussmann. It was designed by the Théodore Ballu taking
inspiration from French and Italian Renaissance architecture. Prior to
the construction, many significant historical buildings were demolished
to make way for the church and surrounding roads.
The façade, with its three porches and gallery above, is topped by a large rose window and two large windows. Rising above these windows is a four-story bell tower with two cupolas at the top.

How unusual. Virginia and you both posting the same church today. It is lovely.
«Louis» rarely leaves comments these days (he is usually working on Sundays...), but he rarely misses one of your Sunday church series. He has always been fascinated with church architecture, and Paris abounds in lovely (if rarely attended...) churches. A delightful series, Genie!
Thank you for highlighting Eglise de la Sainte-Trinité. I used to relax and read on the outside benches on the church grounds back in the 1980s when I spent a summer with friends on Rue Mogador.
Bon dimanche! Haven't been around for a while. Just out of hospital and not yet fully recovered.
Ahhh, so this is how this beautiful church looks in the springtime. Mine today, is in janvier of course!
