The Michelin Guide's review
This church, originally dedicated to St Louis, was built over the period 1627-41 based on a design inspired by the Gesù church in Rome. It took its present name after the destruction of the nearby Église Saint-Paul in the late 18C. The façade, with its Classical orders of superimposed columns, screens the dome. The church's fine furnishings were dispersed at time of the Revolution, though it is worth admiring the Mater Dolorosa, a marble sculpture by Germain Pilon, and the painting Christ in the Garden of Olives by Delacroix.
