Magnifique. Tellement heureuse que ce genre de messe et bâtiment existent encore.

En París no puedes dejar de visitar las numerosas iglesias fascinantes que encuentras a cada paso. La mayoría son gloriosas, imponentes, enormes. Tal es el caso de la iglesia dedicada a San Roque, donde Napoleón bonaparte ametralló a los insurrectos que se revelaban contra la monarquía en 1795. Magníficas pinturas y esculturas y mucho barroco. Inicialmente fue una capilla dedicada a Santa Susana y mucho después, en tiempos de LOUIS XIV, 1653, se erige como iglesia bajo el diseño de Jacques Le Mercier. Destaca su esplendoroso interior y cuenta con una fachada muy bonita de Robert de Cotte. Para su ampliación en el año 1719 fue fundamental la financiación de un mecenas inglés llamado John Law.

Una joya arquitectónica. Tallas en madera impresionantes Pinturas magníficas. Una misa sobrecogedora al estilo de antes
