Église Saint-Vincent de Paul, often called “Les Réformés,” is one of Marseille’s most impressive neo-Gothic churches. Built between 1855 and 1886 on the site of a former Reformed convent, it was designed by architect François Reybaud and inspired by the great cathedrals of northern France. Its twin spires rise dramatically above the Canebière, making it a striking landmark visible from across the city. The façade is richly decorated with sculpted figures and rose windows, while the interior features soaring arches, stained glass, and ornate altars that create a sense of grandeur and devotion. Dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, the church reflects Marseille’s 19th-century growth and spiritual life, serving as both a place of worship and a cultural symbol. Today, it remains a vibrant parish and a must-see for visitors drawn to its architectural beauty and commanding presence at the heart of the city.
