The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'édifice, oeuvre de l'architecte Lassus, a été élevé en 1844 et reconstruit de 1850 à 1869. Cette église est conçue dans l'esprit néo-gothique, synthétisant les principales cathédrales pour composer la cathédrale idéale. Le plan des 13e et 14e siècles comporte une nef à trois travées et bas-côtés, un choeur à déambulatoire et chapelles rayonnantes ainsi qu'un transept non saillant. La façade principale, avec ses trois portails sculptés, et le chevet sont une résurgence de l'esprit gothique. Les tympans historiés reprennent le thème du Sacré-Coeur. L'intérieur présente un triforium à trois niveaux, une chaire néo-gothique et des chapelles ornées.

The building, work of the architect Lassus, was erected in 1844 and rebuilt from 1850 to 1869. This church is conceived in the neo-Gothic spirit, synthesizing the principal cathedrals to compose the ideal cathedral. The plan of the 13th and 14th centuries comprises a nave of three bays and aisles, a choir with ambulatory and radiating chapels as well as a non-projecting transept. The main façade, with its three sculpted portals, and the chevet are a resurgence of the Gothic spirit. The historiated tympana take up the theme of the Sacred Heart. The interior presents a triforium at three levels, a neo-Gothic pulpit and chapels ornamented.
