Saint-Christophe Church, Créteil

[1] Since the Second Vatican Council reforms interesting historical pieces have disappeared from the interior.

Thus the great high altar, gift of the Duchess of La Force no longer exists; as well as the large painting by the painter Vincent-Nicolas Raverat [fr] representing the martyrs of Créteil.

Its fortified bell tower, 30 metres (98 ft) high, dates from the eleventh century.

There are three naves separated by four vertical columns which define nine identical spans with groin vaults.

Numerous archaeological excavations were carried out around the church, bringing to light in particular Merovingian sarcophagi and burials dating back perhaps to the 4th century.
