Notre-Dame-de-Chine is identified by a winding path of river stones leading to its entrance, a feature meant to evoke the image of a dragon that tradition says one must ride to enter a Chinese building. Located at twenty-seven avenue de Choisy in the thirteenth arrondissement, this is the first Catholic church in France established to serve the local Chinese community. It opened on December eighteenth, two thousand five, after the transformation of a former parish gymnasium provided by the neighboring Saint-Hippolyte church.
