Église Saint-Roch



Église Saint-Roch


Rows of chairs and the long carpeted aisle 
give an indication of the size of this church on Rue Saint Honoré.


Saint-Roch is filled with art, stunning architecture, a storied past...
and three magnificent organs.


bon dimanche

Eglise Saint Roch

Saint Roch is the largest Late Baroque church in Paris, completed in the 18th Century. At the time of the French Revolution, Saint Roch was at the heart of the action and was itself the scene of many shootings, which left their imprint on the facade. This church is easily identified by the two different styles of columns and the initials "SR" at the top of the church.

Two interesting facts: Marquis de Sade was married here in 1763 and among the many tombs you will find Denis Diderot.
