This is another one, located north of the river by several blocks. Notre Dame-de-Lorette was built early in the 18th century as a replacement for a structure that was destroyed during the French Revolution. It took from 1823 to 1836 to build it.
Naturally, there was a fact that I found while researching this that is worth noting. Georges Bizet and Claude Monet were both baptized here in 1840 and 1841 - a mere 14 months apart.
