History & Conservation

Construction of the present chapel began in 1540 under Francis I and continued under Henry II. Fréminet’s decoration began in 1608; work continued after his death, including Bordoni’s high altar. [SRC-FRA-108]

The chapel hosted the marriage of Louis XV and Marie Leszczyńska in 1725. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century restoration campaigns altered or reinstated parts of the decoration; its present appearance is not an untouched sixteenth-century ensemble. [SRC-FRA-108]
