Origin and history
The church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc is a Catholic place of worship located on Rue de la Belgique in Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine. It was built in 1926 by the architect Jacques Droz on behalf of L'Avenir immobilier. This monument is distinguished by its history linked to the Exhibition des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, whose architectural features it reproduces.
This church is an exact replica of the chapel of the French Village presented during the Exhibition of Decorative Arts of 1925. This architectural choice reflects the influence of the artistic movements of the inter-war period, where decorative art and innovation in religious forms were mixed. His style is part of a desire for modernity while maintaining a spiritual function.
In 2019, Bishop Matthieu Rougé, then bishop of the diocese of Nanterre, entrusted the church to the Orthodox parish of Saint-Jean-le-Théologien. This change marked an evolution in its liturgical use, with furniture adapted to Orthodox spirituality. Today, it illustrates the cultural and religious diversity of the local heritage.
