Located in the 8th district of Paris, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church was built at the end of the 18th century. Remodeled several times in the 19th century, it gave the neighborhood its name.
Listed as an historic monument, the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church has taken the place of an old chapel built in the 13th century by mint workers. Its architecture repeats in a remarkable way the style of the ancient Paleochristian basilicas, with in particular in frontage, a very beautiful peristyle with four Doric columns surmounted by a triangular pediment.
