Don't trust outside the church... Go inside and discover a real gem...

Small church with beautiful frescoes

1st church built on the Croix Rousse plateau in 1621, destroyed during the revolution and rebuilt in 1830

A beautiful church 💒 which is conducive to meditation 💭. Interior much more remarkable than its facade. You have to go in to see it. It is above all a place of worship and it seems that the masses are well appreciated by the parishioners. In addition, it is a monument 🏛 which is a reflection of the art of the Croix Rousse district of the city 🏙 of Lyon. The district is also rather rich in religious art. It is therefore interesting to take a little cultural tour of this district.

Enlarged neighborhood church, was consecrated in 1714. It later became the parish of Canuts. It has one of the most beautiful organs in Lyon.

A beautiful Lyon church from the 17th century, largely damaged during the revolution of 1789. It was restored from 1803 on the initiative of Cardinal Fesch who dedicated it to Saint Denis, immemorial patron of the French nation. A beautiful painted dome which represents Christ Pantocrator surrounded by Saint-Paul and Saint-Denis.

A pretty village church! at the Croix-Rousse in Lyon Marc Poty

When you look from the outside, you wonder, "Did we come all this way for this?" To avoid saying that, go inside. It was built by workers working in silk weaving factories living in this region of Lyon. Expanded over time (after 1830). Remember that in secular France, churches do not belong to the state, they belong to the people and they do not receive state aid. If you come this way, I recommend you stop by.

Magnificent Croix-Roussienne church... and that's where I was baptized in 1975. La Croix-Rousse, a magical neighborhood where I grew up even though I now live in Haute-Savoie..... But it will remain in my heart.

A very beautiful and large church in the heart of Croix-Rousse. A little paradise where it is good to come and recharge your batteries! To be frequented without moderation ;)
