Paris - The Church of Saint-Roch is a 17th-18th-century French Baroque and classical style church dedicated to Saint Roch. It is located at 284 rue Saint-Honoré, in the 1st arrondissement. The current church was built between 1653 and 1740.
The church is particularly noted for its very exuberant 18th century chapels decorated with elaborate Baroque murals, sculpture, and architectural detail. In 1795, during the later states of the French Revolution, the front of the church was the site of the 13 Vendémiaire, when the young artillery officer Napoleon Bonaparte fired a battery of cannon to break up a force of Royalist soldiers which threatened the new revolutionary government.

En mai, fête ce qu'il te plait ! Rien n'arrête CDLP ! Cette semaine, nous enchaînons la Saint-Roch à Thuin et la Ducasse de Mons. Entre les deux processions, nous sommes allés à Mouscron tailler la pierre.
