It’s a beautiful church. Definitely worth saving.

Funds for restoration of lesser projects than this have been funded through European Parliament. It seems ridiculous that such a lovely church has been idle since 1989. Is there an English version of the petition?

Great article and gorgeous photos.

It would be a shame to see such a beautiful church left without renovation. A very well presented and well written article.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It would be a shame if it was lost forever.

I’m a Catholic and a constant church goer. I would never want to hear a church detroyed especially if it was one of the pillars that made my country known to the world. The history of France is already associated with the history of the church. Destroying it would be destroying a part of France’s history. I also hope this church can be saved.

Nice post…

Renovating this beautiful church is a better option rather than destroying it. Hopefully, it can be saved. There are people of many faiths who attend mass on a weekly basis. I am optimistic because France is doing it best to save its church from destruction. This is an excellent and very well-written article. The architecture is gorgeous. I love the Last Supper painting done by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Thank you for letting us know about this Francois.
It’s a beautiful church.
I signed the petition (after searching through the French on the site).

I’d like to sign the petition but unfortunately I don’t understand the whole page since everything’s in French. May be you can post where exactly is that petition so that we may be able to sign in it. I’ll come back again to see it

Thank you all. To sign the petition and donate, please click on the link: http://www.uepa.fr/
on my article. I just contacted the President of the Association and sent him a translation for the page where the petition can be found, on their site : click on \”La pétition\”, on the left.
We must save this magnificent church. The petition really is important and eventually a donation even a small one is most welcome and highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
François

My dear friends, I am confident also, as Alma says it is part of France’s History, and we must save this magnificent church and its fabulous paintings. The more we sign the petition the better. I will let you know about this on a regular basis. Thank you again and the Asssociation and its President Monsieur André Fanjaud and his team thank you all very much for your interest.
Very best wishes to all,
François Hagnere

great article thnx for shairng

It does seem incredible that anyone would think of destroying this church.

very nice….good one….

Marvellous!

It is a beautiful church, it’s a shame to see it destroyed. I went to the petition but couldn’t find it in English. I will look again.

Stunning! It should be considered a national treasure.
Thanks,

Those are rare historical art pieces indeed. If that was the famous last supper by Leonardo da Vinci, that place should be preserved to safeguard such famous art piece upon which all last supper images were based. Another masterfully written post my friend.

Cheers,

Will

This is magnificent. It should definitely be saved because it is a symbol of French’s rich history of art. I mean like you said the stained glass windows, especially in the second picture are truly breath taking.
I am with you for saving this piece of monumental art!

It would be a shame to lose this mon frere. Look at how beautiful it is! Gosh, people must be crazy to let this piece go. I saw the Association site. As it is in French I did not understand too much. Is there something I can do? Do mail me!

This article took my breath away. Never have I seen such a beautiful church, it seems so glamorous and wealthy inside. It would be a crime not to go ahead and restore this historical splendour, with its rich art and stone work, not to mention the fabulous stained glass windows! I hope to visit this one day for sure.

What a magnificient church! It’s very worth saved for our next generation. I hope it will.

Like Jesus came and created it with his own beautiful Hand!
We better save this rarest and greats creations of earth,Thanks mate for letting me know

Many thanks my friends. Many of you sent me messages and are very active with this including my article in their sites and blogs, this is very helpful and a great incentive! The French site is being translated. I will keep you posted. Many many thanks for visiting and for your friendship.
Blessings,
François

Good on ya Francois for lending your voice to this..the Government has no problems taking the taxpayers hard-earned money or spending it for that matter on useless projects and programs..a magnificent piece of patrimony..I hope the peoples opinion wins over the bureaucratic BS!

Fascinating article my friend and your photos are beautiful.

I am not a Christian, but attended Church weddings, have never seen such a beautiful church, I also think that it should not be destroyed!

It would be a shame if this wonderful church would be allowed to be dismantled. Let’s hope the petition gets lots of names and it affects.

Very true and well share mr. Francois Hagnere! Thanx

The petition in English is now online. You can find it by clicking on The Petition and then you can sign via internet.
Thank you all for your interest!

I don’t see how anyone would even think about demolishing such a beautiful architectural monument and Holy place of worship. Fantastic images. Especially the alter. Truely awesome crafstmanship and beauty. Let’s pray the powers that be don’t destry a gem of history. Great article Francois!

Excellent work, Francois. A very evocative discussion of the location and history. Beautifully-written anaysis of the building, backed up with excellent images. Good luck with your campaign.

That’s graet idea and beautiful church of God.
