Sainte-Geneviève-des-Ardents, Paris

Sainte-Geneviève-des-Ardents (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t ʒənvjɛv dez‿aʁdɑ̃]), known as Sainte-Geneviève-la-Petite in the Middle Ages, was a church located at present-day Parvis Notre-Dame – Place Jean-Paul-II in the Île de la Cité in Paris, France.

It is dedicated to Saint Genevieve, the miracles imputed to whom included "the cessation of a horrible plague, called the mal ardent, which desolated Paris in the reign of Louis le Gros".

[2] The church was re-built in the 15th, in part thanks to the donations of bookseller Nicolas Flamel.

[3] Theologian and casuist Jean Pontas [fr] became the vicar of the church in 1666.

The church of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Ardents was destroyed in January 1747 to enable the extension works of the Hôpital des Enfants-Trouvés.
