A remarkable place of holiness it is also the oldest in Annecy. In Gothic style it has a gorgeous profile with all whites façade walls.

Beginning in 1422 as a Dominican Convent chapel it is thus a treasured place.

Stepping inside was to see more of the historical vestiges. Columns and arches reach the barrel vaulted roof which is criss-crossed with darker stone lines.

Stained glass windows are luminous and lovely. A fine organ is at the top gallery at the rear.

Cool quiet interior a lovely relief from the outdoor bustle and heat. Simple but beautiful interior. Attractive stained glass windows. Various reconstructions done here over several centuries with signs of such. The church is not level due to the canal having been constructed under part of it. A very early trompe l’oeil at the front. Interesting place.

There was not a lot to see here. The interior is large and rather plain, although there are some old wall paintings. The inside is fairly dull, although it is lighter at the far end.

Beautiful if spartan church, recently refurbished with simple decoration. Interesting remains of frescoes. Worth a look at the pulpit, held up by a carving of a 17th century man, though no information as to who he is.

We found this church more interesting than the St Pierre Cathedral. Contrary to one review, it was not at all dark when we visited. It is somewhat plain inside, particularly the large area behind the altar. There is one splendid tomb where around 6 monks are shown grieving for the deceased. There are several stained-glass windows. This is the first sizeable building that you encounter if you approach from the main car-park on the lake-side, across the road from the Hotel de Ville. It is surrounded by canals, some of which vanish uinderground at this location.

Last time I visited in Sept 2012, the church was dark, gloomy and under some kind of restoration. This visit, it was absolutely glorious - light, spotlessly clean, full of space, modern furniture but, not out of place in a very ancient building. The light coming through the glass, cast wonderful rainbows on the new floorboards and furniture. It now looks clean, well-loved and cared for. Wonderful experience. My only criticism is that the exterior ancient grey stone walls, have been whitewashed. Shame.

This church is fairly large inside with much seating and has a very basic Altar area. Some of the areas to the side are well decorated. Very airy and nice to come into and think and rest. Free to enter.

This is a church built by the Dominicans in the 15th century. Currently closed for renovation the church is unique in that many of the side chapels were built by local nobles. In addition the church is recognized for the trompe d'oeil 15th century painting that sits to the left of the choir.

This church, which supposedly is quite attractive inside, is at present (May, 2015) under wraps and cannot be entered due to restorations.

A calm place to visit for a few minutes of peace. Not as over the top as some lavish French churches and none the worse for it.
It appeared to be always open even for locals who took their dogs inside with them.
