Posted in France

I came here first on business and discovered one of the off the beaten path of the Île de France region and just over the Seine river, There were memorable times and of course took the family here too for sights and eat out, there are still many places where they don’t show up at least not much in my belle France. Levallois-Perret is in the Hauts-de-Seine dept 92 of the Île de France region of my belle France. I, once again in my diehard search found me pictures in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, Therefore, let me tell you a bit on the Church of Saint Justin of Levallois-Perret !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Church of Saint Justin is located on Rue Rivay in Levallois-Perret in the Hauts-de-Seine dept 92 of the Île de France region of my belle France. The church, dating from the mid-19C and with an irregular plan based on a Latin cross. It consists of a central nave, divided into four bays, and double aisles with a projecting transept ending in a polygonal chevet. A chapel is attached to the south side wall.

The façade is pierced by a semicircular portal, decorated with arches supported by small columns with capitals. The portal is surmounted by a circular bay. The whole is framed by a semicircular arch supported by twin columns with capitals. The façade is supported by buttresses. The Church of Saint Justin is a massive church with neo-medieval cornices. The bell tower is off-center at the back of the church in the left corner. has a bell tower, square in plan, and three levels. It is pierced by a series of semicircular bays, a triplet of bays, surmounted by an oculus. On the last level, there are twin bays, supported by small columns, and equipped with louvers. The structure is flanked by buttresses. The bell tower is covered by a Fry-type spire, with beveled pavilion edges, then the top of the spire has the shape of an octagonal pyramid. The side walls are pierced by a series of semicircular bays. The arms of the transept are pierced by a triplet of bays. The east nave is covered with a ribbed vault supported by semicircular arches supported by square pillars, decorated with sculpted capitals. The stained glass windows, notably representing Saint Odile and Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, It had a Mutin organ (1914) with 2 manuals. The poor condition of this instrument did not allow for the design of a quality educational and cultural project, it was decided to build a new organ. The aesthetic chosen for the instrument will be Rhenish Romantic.,this was finally done in 2017.

The current Church of Saint Justin is the result of successive enlargements of a first church inaugurated in 1855 ,and Nicolas Levallois laid the first stone on August 9, 1852, A competition was launched in 1869 to erect a new church. The project was postponed by the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, and the church was simply enlarged, which underwent several more works until 1912 , With the churches of Sainte-Bernadette and Sainte-Reine, it belongs to the parish of Saint-Justin of the diocese of Nanterre, erected in 1857. This parish was entrusted to the Communauté du Chemin Neuf in September 1998 at the request of the bishop of the diocese of Nanterre.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
