As with many Paris churches, access can change. This may happen during worship, parish events, or seasonal periods. It is best approached with a flexible schedule.

The Concierge's Tip

Go during the day and keep your timing flexible. Access may shift around services or parish activity. Check the day’s opening information before you leave. Walking in from Jules Joffrin or Simplon is straightforward. Pair the stop with a neighborhood stroll instead of making it a standalone destination. In colder months, aim for earlier daylight hours.
