Saint-Louis-d’Antin

At the request of Louis XVI, the Capuchins settled in 1782 in a convent built by Brongniart at the Chaussée d’Antin, and its chapel is now Saint-Louis-d’Antin. Returned to worship in 1795, the chapel became a parish church in 1802. Its paintings, added under the Second Empire, the reign of Napoleon III, include Signol’s in the apse cupola, and the organ is by Cavaillé-Coll. The photograph of 26 June 2024 looks down the nave to the apse, where Signol’s painting fills the cupola.
