For whatever reason, the lower portion of the marker has been covered with duct tape. Consequently, the obscured text was obtained from the Wikipedia article about the church.
La sacristie abrite un ensemble de peintures, de miniatures et d'ornements sacerdotaux du Moyen Age et de la Renaissance. C'est aujourd'hui l'église des Chevaliers de Malte.
This is the former chapel of the nuns of the third order of Saint Francis, known as the Daughters of Saint Elizabeth. Their church was consecrated in 1648 by Paul de Gondi, the future Cardinal of Retz, then coadjutor of the Archbishop of Paris. A warehouse during the Revolution, it was returned to worship with the Concordat of 1802. The church was restored in 1829
