ORGANS OF PARIS © 2023 Vincent Hildebrandt HOME ALL ORGANS
The chapel was built in Romano-Byzantine style by the
architects Morize, Lacal and Boutin on the first floor of a
stone and brick building. These materials are concealed
inside by a decoration of false joints. Two statues, The
Sacred Heart and The Virgin of Sorrow, dominate the
wide barrel-vaulted nave, pierced on the south side by
penetrating windows; A large organ gallery surmounts
the entrance. The chapel has retained its decoration of
the 30s: a sandstone base is surmounted by scenes from
the Gospels depicted on enamelled and painted metal,
and arranged throughout the chapel. The stained glass
windows were made by Charles Champigneulle, Gruber
and Lorin.
