In 1677, the church was built by the religious order, les prêtres de la Doctrine-Chretienne (fathers of Christian doctrine), who gave it the name of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours.
[2] It was demolished in 1821 because it was almost in ruins, but was rebuilt in the following years (the first stone was placed on 8 June 1823) by the architect André Chatillon.
[4] The church was a central element of the community of merchants and workers operating the wine warehouses of Bercy.
[7] In April 1944, during the Second World War, the church was damaged by the bombardment of the nearby railway tracks of Gare de Lyon.
[6] The church has a remarkable collection of religious paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, including: A small statue of the monk Émilion de Combes, patron saint of wine merchants, is also on display, as the church is located in the district of wine warehouses of Bercy.
A contemporary painting, Divine Light (Annunciation), located in front of the choir, is a work by Monique Baroni (1930-2016).
