Eglise du Val-de-Grâce
pl Alphonse-Laveran, 5th
Anne of Austria, wife of Louis XIII, vowed to erect ‘a magnificent temple’ if God blessed her with a son. She got two. The resulting church and surrounding Benedictine monastery – now a military hospital and a museum – were built by François Mansart and Jacques Lemercier. This is the most luxuriously baroque of the city’s 17th-century domed churches.
