Built to withstand fire by architect Joseph-Ferdinand Peachy between
1889 and 1900, the design of the exterior chapel was inspired by
Théodore Ballu’s masterpiece, the Trinité de
Paris. The interior is notable for its trompe l’œil
(“deceives the eye”) design, i.e. painted to imitate
the highest quality building materials in fashion at the time. |
