Saint-Ignace

The chapel of the Jesuits in Paris was built by the Society of Jesus between 1855 and 1858, in the neo-Gothic style, and dedicated to its founder. It has lost part of its original decoration, but paintings by Lamothe, Coubertin, Vibert, Régis and Cazes remain. The organ bears the names Cavaillé-Coll (1891) and Haerpfer-Erman (1977), and Jean-Marie Duthilleul has reordered the choir and the narthex, or entrance hall. In the photograph, the nave leads to a choir lit by colored windows.
