    In the 1920s the Salesians of Don Bosco took over the patronage Sainte-Anne, a Catholic youth work, on this site. Cardinal Verdier blessed the first stone of the church in March 1933, and the finished church was blessed on 10 October 1937. It is an Art Deco ensemble that has hardly been altered: its windows, mosaics, frescoes, statues and ironwork include work by the Mauméjean workshop, Antoine Bessac, Georges Serraz, Yvonne Parvilliée and Raymond Subes. The photograph of 2024 looks toward the choir, its lantern and its colored glass.
