“A church named after a humble chapel? How peculiar” you might think, standing here before the Église Sainte-Agnès. And you would be right. This church, a beacon of modernist architecture, holds within its heart a whisper of the past – a connection to a much smaller, simpler structure. The Église Sainte-Agnès, completed in 1935, isn’t your typical Parisian church laden with centuries-old stone. Its bold, modern design by Marc Brillaud de Laujardière and Raymond Puthomme stands out. Yet, it acknowledges its past. The very name, Église Sainte-Agnès, connects us to a humble chapel that once stood here. Though long gone, its memory lives on in the name of this remarkable church.

Beneath what appears to be a simple stone and wood structure lies a history interwoven with faith aviation and community.
