Église Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons de Bordeaux

This guide to Eglise Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons in Bordeaux traces a parish church that took two attempts across more than a century to finish. It opens in 1758, when an archbishop and Bordeaux's intendant Tourny set out to give the growing Chartrons district a church, only for the project to stall at knee height after Tourny's death. While the walls stood abandoned, the neighborhood built a market instead, feeding its stomach long before anyone returned to finish the church.
