About the location

Église Saint-Christophe de Javel

28 rue de la Convention 75015 Paris

Paris
Île-de-France

Built from 1926 to 1930 by architect Charles-Henri Bernard, the church is dedicated to St.Christopher, patron of travelers, because of the old importance in the Javel district of the transport industries (rail, air and automobile). The means of transport of the time are represented on the decors. This is one of the very few churches where the innovative technique of reinforced cement is used to make each element, then erected on the site. This process is put at the service of a traditional neo-Gothic aesthetic.
