Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix de Ménilmontant is defined by a monumental staircase of fifty-four steps, built to bridge the sharp elevation of the hill it sits upon. This neo-Romanesque church, spanning ninety-seven meters in length, ranks among the largest in Paris. Designed by architect Louis-Jean-Antoine Héret and constructed between eighteen sixty-three and eighteen eighty, it blends traditional stone with a then-modern structural frame of iron and cast metal visible within its vaults.
