Church of Saint-Roch

The Church of Saint-Roch is beautiful on the inside. We were fortunate to attend Mass here on Easter Sunday. The light through the stained glass windows creates a wonderful atmosphere and the acoustics of the organ are amazing. This is more of a neighborhood church than many of the others in Paris. It is easily overlooked packed in among the other local buildings.

The build, architecture, ceiling, and pillars of this church are very unique. The altars arrangement was also quite intriguing. It's worth the visit and prayer.

As literally “passing” passage Saint Roch, my thought wondered around for the possible whereabouts for Rose Bertin’s “Le Grand Mogol” (it was supposed to be very close to the church). Getting used to the smell of sewage was very helpful in Paris, yet once I was allowed to enter, Oh the history speaks its own. Is it true YSL had his funeral here? Church of Saint-Roch is a must visit church if you have Jesus in your heart.

A hidden gem in the middle of Paris. Despite being so unkept and badly maintained you can still enjoy the historical and magnificent art that draws you closer to our Lord. It’s sad to see it’s deterioration. However, it’s true beauty still comes across and forces you to imagine of what once was.

A beautiful church nearby the Louvre Museum.

The Church of Saint-Roch is a hidden gem in Paris, known for its beautiful Baroque architecture and serene atmosphere. Located on Rue Saint-Honoré, this historic church features stunning altars, intricate sculptures, and impressive artwork. The grand interior, with its high vaulted ceilings and peaceful chapels, provides a tranquil retreat from the bustling city outside. Notably, the church has strong artistic and historical ties, having been frequented by artists and musicians throughout its history. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment of reflection or admiring the artistry, the Church of Saint-Roch is a lovely and lesser-known treasure in Paris.

So gorgeous inside and out! The stained glass and art inside are worth a stop. Free to enter respectfully. Ask a local or Google about the history of Napolean and this church. Apparently it has quite a bloody history in the French Revolution.

Very old and big church. Churches are usually very cool inside especially on a very hot summerday, this one was very good to just cool down and relax. The church itself is very beautiful, you can see they dont have the funds to really renovate but the building is huge and so pretty. Absolutely a secret tip :)
