The Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Victoire is located on the eponymous street to the North of the New bridge and Rivoli. This is one of the five churches of the Archdiocese of Paris, with the honorary status of a minor Basilica.

The Basilica owes military victory under Louis XIII La Rochelle in 1628. After defeating the Huguenots (as well as on supporting the Huguenots English), the king decided to immortalize the event by the erection of the Church, dedicated to our lady. The Church planned to build the convent of the barefoot Augustinian near present-day Petit Père ("small fathers" as it is called Augustinian).

Architect Pierre Le Muet developed the project, selecting the concept of the Basilica, a special type of temple is rectangular in shape with an odd number of different along the height of the naves. Louis XIII personally laid the first stone in the Foundation of the future Church – it happened December 9, 1629. The Archbishop of Paris, Jean Francois Gondy (future leader of the Opposition) consecrated the building.

Construction project ran into financial difficulties: the work because of lack of money in the Treasury stopped until 1656. Since that time, the project has consistently led the architects of the Liberal Bryan, Gabriel Le Doux, Jean Sylvain Card. Fully completed, the Church was in 1740.

Half a century later, during the revolution, the convent of the barefoot Augustinian closed, the Church was plundered. The building housed the national lottery, according to the decision of the Convention was engaged in the drawing of property of fleeing immigrants from France-royalist. For a while there's even traded securities, but in 1802 Napoleon issued a decree on the construction of a new Paris stock exchange (Palais Brongniart), and the building of the Petit-Pere was returned to the Church.

The Church was located in the business district, she had a few parishioners. In 1836 the parish priest, FR Charles Eleanor of Dufreche of Destinet temple was dedicated to the immaculate Heart of Mary – from this moment began to flock here pilgrims and believers. In 1927, the Church received the status of "minor Basilica" of Paris.

Here you can see also seven large paintings of Charles-andré van Loo, "the first of the artist's" Louis XV on the life of St. Augustine and the siege of La Rochelle.
