Saint-Pierre de Montmartre
Rue du Mont-Cenis, Montmartre
Quartier de Clignancourt, 18th arrondissement
Paris, July 2005
“Saint-Pierre de Montmartre is one of the oldest surviving churches in Paris but the lesser known of the two main churches in Montmartre, the other being the more famous 19th-century Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, built in 1147, was the church of the prestigious Montmartre Abbey. According to the earliest biography of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the martyrium of Montmartre Abbey was the location at which the vows were taken that led to the founding of the Society of Jesus.” (Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, Wikipedia)
