Saint Eustache church
Presentation
The church of Saint Eustache in Viroflay, dating from 1543, is the oldest in the town. Consecrated by Cardinal Eustache du Bellay, it could be seen from a distance coming from Paris. Once surrounded by thatched houses and a cemetery, it was replaced in the 1960s by Notre Dame du Chêne, a larger church just a few hundred metres away. The church of Saint-Eustache benefited from ornaments donated by Louis XIV and his successors, which were restored after the Revolution, when it was declared a "Temple of Reason".
