1. Eglise Saint-Eustache Marker
L'accroissement de la population autour des Halles et la piété d'un bourgeois, Jean Alais, sont à l'origine de la fondation d'une chapelle consacrée en 1223 à sainte Agnès puis à saint Eustache. Edifiée à la jonction des chemins de Montmartre et de la Marée, et devenue église paroissiale, elle subit une série d'agrandissements avant d'être remplacée par l'édifice actuel. Sa première pierre fut posée le 29 août 1532 par François ler, mais elle ne fut achevée et consacrée que le 26 avril 1637.
Paroisse de Colbert, Saint-Eustache doit à la générosité du ministre des fresques de Mignard et une nouvelle façade restée cependant inachevée comme la précédente.
Saint-Eustache Church
The increase in the population around Les Halles and the piety of a member of the bourgeois, Jean Alais, were at the origin of the foundation of a chapel consecrated in 1223 to Saint Agnes and then to Saint Eustache. Built at the junction of the Chemin de Montmartre and the Chemin de la Marée, and now a parish church, it underwent a series of expansions before being replaced by the current building. Its first stone was laid on August 29, 1532 by Francis I, but it was only completed and consecrated on April 26, 1637.
The Parish of Colbert, Saint-Eustache is indebted to the generosity of the ministry for the frescoes of Mignard and a new facade. However, the façade remained unfinished as was the previous.
