Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot


The église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot is a Roman Catholic church in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, at 31, avenue Marceau, almost at its corner with rue de Chaillot.

The parish of Saint-Pierre de Chaillot dates back to the 11th century. The historic church of the parish was entered from rue de Chaillot, with only a chapel with a brick facade opening onto avenue Marceau. That church hosted the funerals of Guy de Maupassant on 8 July 1893 and of Marcel Proust on 21 November 1922, but all that now survives of it is a statue of the Virgin Mary, the 'Vierge de Chaillot'. The present building (architect:Emile Bois) was completed in 1938.
