Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot

The parish of Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot goes back to the eleventh century. The present church, the work of Émile Bois, architect of the City of Paris, stands on the site of its predecessors; its first stone was blessed in January 1933, and it was completed in 1938. Built of reinforced concrete and faced outside in white stone, it evokes Byzantine and Romanesque architecture through the geometry and mass sought in the 1930s, and its bell tower rises to sixty-five meters.

Henri Bouchard carved the great tympanum above the entrance, nearly thirty meters long, with some twenty reliefs on eight registers around Saint Peter enthroned; restored, it was unveiled again in 2023. Inside, Nicolas Untersteller painted frescoes on the concrete, and the windows are by Joseph and Charles Mauméjean.

Three visits are recorded, in March 2019, September 2025 and February 2026. Below is one photograph from each of the first two.
