Cathédrale américaine de Paris
The American Cathedral in Paris, in the 8th arrondissement, is an Episcopal church built at the end of the 19th century for the Anglo-American community living in the capital. Its neo-Gothic stone architecture draws on English cathedral design.
Today it continues to serve an active congregation while attracting visitors for its architecture and stained glass. The interior atmosphere, more intimate than the grand Paris cathedrals, reflects its status as a community place of worship rather than a national monument. The visit pairs well with a walk along the nearby avenue, in a quiet residential area.
