The Church of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis is a famous church located in the 4th area of Paris, France. It was built a long time ago, between 1627 and 1641. Two talented architects, Étienne Martellange and François Derand, designed it. They were both members of a religious group called the Jesuits.
This church is also known by another name: Saint-Louis-des-Jésuites. A powerful king, King Louis XIII, asked for it to be built. It's a beautiful example of old French architecture.
