Saint François d'Assise
9, rue de Mouzaïa, 75019 Paris
The church was built in 1924 on the plans of
architects Paul and Auguste Courcoux. The shrine is
dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi to commemorate
the seven hundred years of the creation of the Third
Order of St. Francis of which Charles Tournemire
was a member.
The building, in the Italian Romanesque style,
adopts the pattern of the churches of Umbria.
Despite its franciscan sobriety, Saint-François-
d'Assise is adorned with beautiful frescoes in the
choir that contrast elegantly with the white walls
and the dark hues of the ceilings. The interior is
very bright thanks to the white stained glass
windows above the aisles.
Finally, six modern stained glass windows adorn
statues of the Virgin and Child and of St. Francis in
the aisles.

In 1951, Louis-Eugène Rochesson installed an old house
organ (probably built by Mutin) in the church. On the
occasion of its transfer, it was electrified and its
composition was rigorously transformed according to the
neo-classical aesthetic.
In very poor condition, it was replaced in 2008 by a new
instrument built by Bernard Cogez.
