A beautiful church and definitely worth a visit.

This ancient collegiate church in Gothic style, with some characteristic Renaissance elements, was built between 1315 and 1630. It houses two important works by the Lorraine sculptor Ligier Richier: Christ on the Cross between the Two Thieves and "Le Transi de René de Chalon," depicting the Prince of Orange as a skeleton. It was classified as a historic monument in 1889.

The church of Saint-Jean, in Bar-le-Duc, is a neo-Byzantine style building with references to the neo-Romanesque style. It was built in two phases, between the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the mid-19th century, the parish of Notre-Dame had an "annex" in the Brasseries district. The idea of transforming it into a church came in 1869. The following year the project was entrusted to the architect Charles Demoget. The result, a neo-Gothic building, was controversial and Demoget was removed from office, making way for Ernest Birglin who designed a new building in neo-Byzantine style. But it was only in 1875, after the creation of a fourth parish under the name of Saint-Jean, that construction of the church began. The first phase of the works lasted until 1880, but only the apse, the choir and the transept were erected. In 1933 the architect Royer opened the second phase of work, with the construction of the nave which lasted until 1939. The façade, however, remained partially unfinished.

Visible from afar, the tower points the way to the upper old town. From here you have a good view of the city that now lies at our feet.

What a beautiful old town! Such pretty houses and charming corners. A walk is very worthwhile! But why is there so much empty here?!? Why doesn't anyone want to live here?

When Saint Stephen (Saint-ETIENNE) expressed his vision of the open heaven "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), people were outraged people care so much about it that they drove him out of town and stoned him. The memorial of Saint Stephen or Stephen, one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community, is on Boxing Day.
