The History of Cathedral St-louis Versailles

   
  The church became cathedral

Once the Catholic worship was restored, the bishop took the constitutional succession of Mr. Oats, Mr. Clement prefers St. Louis at Notre Dame and so the church became a cathedral in 1797. Monsignor Charrier de la Roche, first legitimate bishop of Versailles, to ratify this choice. It was solemnly enthroned in St. Louis on 27 May 1802 and on 3 January 1805, he has the joy of welcoming in the cathedral the pope Pius VII came to Paris for the coronation of the Emperor. An inscription affixed in the chapel of the Virgin Mary commemorates this event.

After the revolutionary turmoil in the church is new and furnished with ornaments and sacred vessels. It owes much to Charles X and Louis-Philippe who re trim, confessionals, altars lining.
