Sainte-Marguerite

The chapel of the people of the faubourg Saint-Antoine in 1624, Sainte-Marguerite became a parish church in 1712. Its chapel of the Souls in Purgatory, entrusted to Victor Louis on his return from Rome, is painted by Paolo Antonio Brunetti to give the illusion of an early Christian basilica. In 2017 the church was classified as a historic monument together with the ground of its former cemetery, where a cross and a gravestone beside the church mark the grave traditionally attributed to Louis XVII; where his remains were buried is not known. The photograph of 2025 looks down the nave past a bronze figure.
