    The choir of Saint-Louis-en-l’Île
    4 February 2026, 14:53.

    A first chapel stood here by 1622. The present church was begun in 1664 and consecrated on 14 July 1726; its architects included François Le Vau and Gabriel Le Duc. The openwork bell tower dates from 1765, after lightning struck in 1740. Sold in 1798 and bought back by the City in 1817, the church was restored between 2018 and 2024. The photograph of 4 February 2026, taken after the restoration had ended, looks into the choir.
