For more than a thousand years, at the crossroads that have become our roads, the Church of St Christopher stands and offers us, in the grace of its harmonious structure resulting from the union of different architectural currents, a place of life where one reads, in stone, glass and bronze, in leather and copper, in brass and wood, concern for transmission, the only sharing that braves time: transmission of a memory, a history, a faith.
You will be invited to discover - or rediscover - this link.
For convenience, the tour group will be split in two but each "half" will be able to visit each place.
Each group will "build" its visit according to its curiosity, in the crypt and the high church, with the help of the guide and, if you wish, that of the QR-Codes indicated on the document that will be given to you (you can later redo or finish the visit quietly).
The QR-Codes are read using your smartphone. You will have at your disposal photos, articles or explanations to complete the visit.
If your smatphone does not scan the flashcodes, you will have to think about downloading an application for free to scan them.
Your guide will be equipped with a tablet.
The main thing is simply to see and perhaps marvel...

About the location

Église Saint-Christophe
Place de l'Église 94000 Créteil

The different parts of the church bear the mark of the centuries during which they were altered.
The crypt: taken over in the Romanesque era, it has three naves separated by four colonnettes determining nine identical bays vaulted with edges. Under the altar of the crypt (whose table is formed by a stone taken from the local quarries) are presented the relics of the martyrs of Créteil: Agoard, Aglibert and their companions.
The Romanesque steeple: tower of nearly thirty meters high, reinforced with buttresses of corner and overhanging the Romanesque porch. It houses three bells: Marie (200 books) dating from 1552, Joséphine Élisabeth (2500 books) rebuilt in 1867, Agoard and Aglibert (800 books) installed in 1992.
The church: it adopts the plan of a basilica (central nave joined by two collaterals). A three-storey elevation had been planned but could only be achieved in the chancel (high windows and crossed warheads leaning on beams of columns resting on the pillars). The nave remains c
