CHURCH AND OTHER PLACES OF WORSHIP

Saint-Jean-Bosco Church

79 rue Alexandre Dumas - 75020 Paris Nation

In the heart of the Charonne district, the Saint-Jean-Bosco church is a rare and majestic example of Art Deco in the Parisian landscape. Erected between 1933 and 1938 and listed as a Monument Historique, it is striking for the geometric elegance of its facade and the modernity of its lines. It is considered a true work of art, with the bell-tower-porch rising to over 50 meters, affirming its monumentality. Inside, the reinforced concrete architecture and refined décor are in perfect harmony. Admire the luminous stained glass windows created by the Mauméjean Frères and Jean Gaudin workshops, the mosaics, murals and ironwork, all designed in the bold, geometric vocabulary of the Art Deco period. A must-see for lovers of 20th-century heritage.
