Church Saint-Louis-du-Progrès

Église Saint-Louis-du-ProgrèsÉglise Saint-Louis-du-Progrès

The first church built in Drancy as part of the Cardinal Verdier's construction projects which aimed to Christianize the "red suburbs" was built in the Économie neighborhood on Rue Georges-Marie. Its architect remains unknown. The building was inaugurated on January 25, 1931, and established as a parish church on June 4, 1933.

Built to take advantage of the new possibilities offered by concrete, which allowed for large spans, the building consists of a vaulted nave with five bays, opening onto a pentagonal choir decorated with blind arches. The semicircular arches separating the nave from the side aisles are adorned with floral and geometric decorations. The porch features a doorway without a tympanum.

The church was restored by ?Les Chantiers du Cardinal,? a nonprofit organization dedicated to the construction and renovation of churches.
