Built for the Oratorians, this elegant circular church is now given over to Protestant gloom of the least decorative order. It was constructed by FranÇois Mansard, and dedicated to Notre-Dame-des-Anges in 1634, upon the site, some authorities say, of the HÔtel of Gabrielle d'EstrÈes; it may therefore be said to have passed from the good Gabrielle, through the better fathers, to the best Protestants; or, contrariwise, from the bad Demoiselle to the worse Catholics, and, worst of all, Calvinists. However, now all is calm, and passions have subsided; and a fine statue of Admiral Coligny is fixed to its wall, facing the scene of his murder on that fearful feast of bloodshed which S. Bartholemew must have been scandalized to find attached to his name.
