Sainte-Trinité Church

Sainte-Trinité (Église de la Sainte-Trinité) is a 19th-century church near Opéra and Gare Saint-Lazare, known for its elegant Second Empire design by Théodore Ballu. Its distinctive façade, grand staircase, and tall campanile frame a bright, balanced interior with polychrome stone, stained glass, and a renowned Cavaillé-Coll organ. The church hosts regular organ recitals and services, offering a calm counterpoint to the busy surrounding boulevards. It’s a worthwhile stop for architecture fans, music lovers, and visitors exploring the Right Bank’s Haussmann-era landmarks. Free entry; check schedules for concerts and occasional restorations.
