Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal Church is a Catholic religious building located in Antony, Île-de-France. Originally, it was a relief chapel in the Garennes district, designed to meet the spiritual needs of the local population. The main building comes from the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, a major event that marked architecture and urban planning of the period. Established in 1932 to serve the southern part of Antony, it became a central place of worship for the parish of Saint Saturn.
The initiative of his creation came from Abbé Marie-Louis Sauvanaud, honorary canon of Paris and parish priest of Antony from 1915 to 1943. The latter played a key role in the establishment of this church, which was renovated in 1954 to preserve its architectural and religious heritage. The building is distinguished by its multicoloured stained glass windows depicting scenes from the New Testament, as well as by a calvary erected in its garden, adding a symbolic dimension to the site.
With a ground surface of 312 m2, the Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal church embodies a mixture of local history and colonial heritage. His name was supplemented by the term "outside the walls" to distinguish her from the homonymous church in Paris. Today, it remains an active place of worship and an important part of Antony's religious heritage.
