Église Notre-Dame-des-Champs
The church of Notre-Dame-des-Champs was built between 1867 and 1876. The architecture of the present church is in the Romanesque style. Its construction was entrusted to Léon Ginain, architect, from 1867 to 1876 and the contractor was Eugène Bonté. It was built during the rectorship of Abbé Cognat. The work was interrupted during the 1870 war and then resumed until its completion. The church was built on a very old church site. After the conversion of the Paris region to Christianity, a temple on this site was already dedicated to the Virgin Mary and named Notre-Dame-des-Vignes, as the area was then surrounded by vineyards.
