Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde, Paris

The Hôtel des Invalides was built at the request of Louis XIV to accommodate war invalids. After the Revolution, and under the patronage of Saint-Louis and the Holy Trinity, the church was administratively attached to the Army Museum from its creation in 1905. The soldiers' church is now the cathedral of the French armies.

The church is part of an old Benedictine royal abbey dating from the 6th century. The building was rebuilt by Abbot Morard in the 10th century. The current choir was built in the middle of the 12th century and consecrated by Pope Alexander III. Conventual buildings successively rebuilt during the 13th century. After the Revolution, the church lost its status as an abbey church to become a parish abbey. Reconstructions carried out between 1821 and 1854. Church classified as a historical monument by list in 1862. Remains of the former abbey classified in 1953. Saint-Germain-des-Prés church is the oldest of the great Parisian churches.

The first place of worship of the Armenian community in Paris, the current church was built at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1902, Alexandre Mantachiants, a wealthy oil magnate, financed the construction of the building. He decided to entrust the construction of his cathedral to the architect Albert Guibert. He then asked him for a modern church with a resolutely Armenian architecture, inspired by the cathedral of Etchmiadzin. The church was finally completed in 1904, and consecrated on October 2, 1904.
