It's a discreet monument, hidden away at the end of a small courtyard, itself enclosed by a splendid 15th-century porch, in the rue des Cordeliers in Lons-le-Saunier. But it is a magnificent church, originally built in the 13th century, and which, as a result of numerous fires, now essentially dates from the 18th century (particularly its Jesuit-style façade, completed in 1731).
Inside, you can discover three sets of furniture listed as Historic Monuments: the pulpit (1728, the work of Lédonian cabinet-makers Lamberthoz), the great organs (circa 1845, Callinet organs) and the choir stalls (circa 1828, late Louis XVI style).
A crypt, now inaccessible, is the burial place of the Chalon family, powerful lords of the town in the Middle Ages.

Don't miss: the Jesuit-style façade with its revolutionary inscription, the Callinet organ, the 19th-century choir stalls with musical instruments and the preacher's pulpit...
