Catalogue Note

L'église du Val-de-Grâce de style classique français était à l'origine l'église de l'abbaye royale du Val-de-Grâce. Construite entre 1645 et 1667, l'édification fut confiée successivement à François Mansart, Jacques Lemercier, Pierre le Muet et enfin Gabriel Leduc. Durant la Révolution, l'ensemble monumental fut réaffecté et devint hôpital militaire.
