ÉGLISE SAINT-MAXIMIN

Place de l'Eglise. We hear the bells ringing. This silhouette is vaguely reminiscent of Notre-Dame-de-Paris and its two towers. Does it also have the hunchback? It is said that Hugo Père defended the city of Thionville in 1814 and 1815. Who inspired what? All dressed in yellow stone from Jaumont, it tickles our curiosity by its exterior sobriety. A cross, a pediment with round cherubs, two draperies, two medallions of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. That's it. Its description for the specialists can be enriched by its pilasters with Ionic capitals. Vast vocabulary. Its two impressive towers, from which the soldiers were watching, punctuate the majesty of its simplicity. All you have to do is push the door.
