For architecture lovers, Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul offers a rare example of religious art of the 1st half of the 19th century with this church designed, including in its interior decoration, by a single man: Jacques-Ignace Hittorff. Built between 1824 and 1844 for a district then in full expansion, marked two centuries earlier by the presence of Saint Vincent de Paul. The European Heritage Days allow you to admire the frieze of Saints painted by Hippolyte Flandrin and to access the terrace of the 4 Evangelists with a little-known view of Paris.
This year, in the chapel of the Virgin, we will rediscover the maroon paintings of William Bouguereau, whose restoration began in 2023 with the Visitation and the Adoration of the shepherds.

About the location

Église Saint-Vincent-De-Paul
Place Franz-Liszt 75010 Paris
  • Paris
  • Île-de-France
It is a church built between 1824 and 1844 for an enlarging district that had been marked, the two centuries earlier, by the presence of saint Vincent of Paul. The architect J.I. Hittorff conceived(designed) an original work of a large unit(great unity), where prevail Roman and ancient, Greek forms, and where the inside evokes the Byzantine decorations(sets). The long frieze of the saints of the Christendom painted by H. Flandrin in the nave and the big(great) Christ in glory de F. Picot on the vault of the chorus(choir) establish(constitute) one of the major whole wall painting of the XIXth century. 2011 was marked by the return with enamelled lavas (work of Jollivet) on the facade. They had been removed 150 years earlier, the public opinion being shocked by Eve's nakedness.
