Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts

Saint-Antoine des Quinze-Vingts (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.t‿ɑ̃.twan de kɛ̃z vɛ̃]) is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 66 Avenue Ledru Rollin in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.

However, two institutions had the privilege of exercising the "cure d'âme" ["care of souls"]: the abbey of the Cistercian nuns of Saint-Antoine des Champs and the Résidence Quinze-Vingts, originally founded -- although in a different location -- by King Louis IX (Saint Louis) in the 13th century.

The new parish of Saint-Antoine des Quinze-Vingts was created on 4 February 1791, and originally used the abbey church as its place of worship.

At the entrance to the church (avenue Ledru Rollin), on the right is a statue of Saint Peter, and a large pietà (Lady of Sorrows) is located nearby, in the south aisle.

[3][6] In 2009, new Stations of the Cross by Sister Dolores of the Dourgne abbey were installed in the side aisles, as well as on the glass divider between the main altar and that of the "Chapelle de semaine" (weekday chapel).

The following year, he designed and realized the new reception area located just inside the main entrance to the church.
