This church was entirely rebuilt by the Jesuits after the destruction of the ancient edifice, which was one of the oldest in Rheims. Here may be seen the Eagle Reading-Desk, a fine piece of 17th century wood-carving; two Louis XIV. portable iron desks and the paschal chandelier of carved wood; the 17th century confessionals of the lateral chapels, and in the sacristy remarkable Louis XIII., hand-embroidered guipures of open-work designs, after the style of the models by the Rheims artist, Georges Baussonnet.
Return to the Place du Parvis, in front of the Cathedral, via the Rue Gambetta and its continuation, the Rue Chanzy.
