Today, the bells of Église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption des Buttes-Chaumont ring out, but this wasn’t always the case. Imagine standing here in the heart of this bustling Parisian neighborhood in the 1960s. The Église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption des Buttes-Chaumont, newly built, stands as a beacon of faith. This isn’t your typical Gothic masterpiece. The church, with its unique oval shape, almost resembles a giant egg nestled among the modern apartment buildings. Architect Denis Honegger, a student of the renowned Auguste Perret, envisioned a space that felt both ancient and strikingly modern. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by the warmth of wood contrasting beautifully with the raw concrete. The rising rows of seating, like an amphitheater, draw your gaze towards the altar bathed in light streaming through the vibrant stained-glass windows by Yoki Aebischer. These windows, a fusion of stained-glass and mosaic techniques, depict the Litany of the Virgin. It wasn’t until 2018, thanks to the Chantiers du Cardinal, that the church’s bell tower finally received its voice – three bells that now fill the air, reminding the community of the church’s presence and its role in their lives. The bells of Église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption des Buttes-Chaumont now serve as a call to worship. They are a reminder of the enduring power of faith in a constantly changing world.
