Saint-Pierre

3 Rue Alfred Savouré, 94220 Charenton-le-Pont

Saint Pierre was built between 1857 and 1859 by architect Claude Naissant, to replace the old church of Saint-Pierre de Conflans. In 1882, following disputes between the commune of Paris and the Catholic clergy, City Hall had engraved on the façade the inscriptions "Liberty, equality, fraternity" and "communal property". In 1916 two new aisles were built on both sides of the building. They are connected by an ambulatory which goes around the back of the building.

C1 The organ was built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1891 and inaugurated by Charles Marie WIidor. In 1941 John Reinburg renovated the instrument, adding a Plein Jeu. In 1998 Adrien Maciet carried out a restoration and removed the Plein Jeu of Reinburg.
