Located close to Bon Marche supermarket which is the best landmark to give a taxi driver, the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal is a beautiful location which is very heavenly. Please check the opening hours to avoid the Church being closed or too busy. Mass times are particularly busy. The body of St Catherine is located at the top of the Church to the right of the main altar, to the right of St Catherine Laboure's tomb is the seat which is cornered off that Our Lady sat upon when St Catherine had her vision. The statue of Saint Vincent De Paul is behind the chair. (Please note the body of St Vincent de Paul is buried within walking distance from Rue de Bac). Mass is lovely but I also loved to sit in the Church and pray. There are some locals though who seems to sit in the Church all day. There is a gift shop on the way into the Church and this has lots of lovely souvenirs which you can purchase. Also to mention the body of St Louise de Marillac who is the co-founder of the Daughters of Charity is buried to the left of the Altar. I found this Church to be beautiful, heavenly and I will definitely return to see St Catherine Laboure. Please visit this beautiful location

The rmains of St. Louise and her altar were my main reason for attending. Louise was a rmarkable woman and the pattroness of social workers. She with Vincent de Paul founded the Daughters of Charity and revolutionuzed care of abandoned children.

This chapel is a MUST see for any Catholic or person interested in the Catholic saints. This chapel is a pilgrimage site for many devotees. In this chapel, the Blessed Virgin appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré, a Seminary Sister (novice) in the Daughters of Charity in 1830, in order to offer the world a medal. When a deadly cholera epidemic broke out in Paris in February 1832, claiming more than 20,000 lives, the Sisters of the convent began distributing the first medals to the local people. Many cures were reported, along with protection and conversions. The word spread like wild fire. The people of Paris called the medal “miraculous”. The heart of St. Vincent de Paul is also located in a tomb in the altar area of this chapel. When Catherine's body was exhumed in 1933, it was found miraculously preserved. Her incorrupt body now lies on display in the chapel in a glass case. Pope Pius XII named her a Saint on July 27, 1947. We attended Sunday mass here. It's a simple and beautiful convent chapel.

I made the Holy Virgin the promise of visiting her chapel every time I come to Paris. I have never regretted it. Go and feel in your hearth the love and peace She only can provide.

PROS: beautiful smallish church; unassuming exterior ; close to Bon Marche ; incorruptible Saint Catherine and wax figure of St. Louise( with her bones inside the figure); serene and brightly lit interior; affordable items from the gift shop from the miraculous medals of the Blessed Mother to the rosaries with the medal in them; they were the most affordable church gift shop we encountered (compared with the Basilicas and Cathedrals we visited) plus the church has a significant Marian Miracle connection; if you cannot visit Lourdes while in Paris, this may be the next best thing!
CONS: none, the nuns in the gift shop were very accommodating!

It was God's Will that I visit this place. Since I got an unexpected extra day in Paris from a flight cancellation, I wanted to very dearly visit this very famous Church. In 1830, a 24 year old nun, Sr. Catherine Laboure had 3 different meetings with the Virgin Mary. What eventually happened is that a Medal was made with the Holy Virgin's appearance on the front and on the back was a Cross, with an M and below 2 Hearts, one of Jesus' Heart with thorns and the other, Mary's Heart with a sword piercing it. I actually have this on my original First Holy Communion Rosary and with the year 1830 below. I never thought that one day I would actually visit the actual place where my Miraculous Medal originated from. What a solemn place to pray and meditate as I even attended a Holy Mass while I was there. Sr Catherine's Body is incorrupt.

The rue du Bac is a very long road, starting at the start of the left bank and winding down some distance until you reach the chapel. Take the metro to Sèvres-Babylone. You will see a department store at the corner of rue du Bac. Walk down a little way and you will find the chapel, at least a very unassuming entrance to a convent. The chapel is at the end on the right. On entering, there is a revent silence and a small crowd around the right hand side chapel at the front. St Catherine Labouré, a sister of charity, and who died in 1875, lies fully intact in her glass sarcophagus. Earlier that century she witnessed aparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary who instructed her to have a special medal struck. These are available at the little shop outside, in addition to the pamphlet (in many languages) which describe the medal and give its history. if there is time afterwards, go back the way you came and then turn into the street at the right. There you will find the church with the body of St Vincent de Paul, raised up over the high altar and in a glass sarcophagus. You can ascend the stairs to get a close look.

This beautiful chapel is the site of an encounter between St Catherine Laboure and the Blessed Virgin Mary which became the source of the Miraculous Medal. The chapel has Mass around the clock in a wide variety of languages. You can visit the official website which is available in several languages. That way you can see all of the expected pilgrimages so you can see when Mass will be available in your language. PLEASE RESPECT THE PURPOSE OF THIS PLACE - NO PHOTOS, NO TALKING, DECENT CLOTHING. On that last point, on my last visit, I saw a woman turned away because she was wearing shorts which were not long enough. Her boyfriend was able to go in because his shorts were long enough. Please don't put yourself in this situation. Think about where you are going when you decide how to dress.

It is quite nice little chapel where it is believed that Our Lady appeared to a young women, and ultimately donate a medal to her.
In this chapel there is the model of the lady to whom appeared the Our Lady and a nice fresco on the main altar. It has also a 2 tier terracce.
However, one goes her primary not as a tourist, but to pray. Still be aware that chapel opens at 2.30 pm. Don't go in the morning, so!!!

Vou estar no Hôtel 34B Astotel na rua Bergere. Como vou até a Capela Nossa Denhora da Medalha Milagrosa?
Written 21 May 2018
Como a Capela da Medalha Milagrosa fica do outro lado do Sena não dá pra ir a pé. De metrô a estação mais próxima do hotel que vc vai ficar é a “Grands Boulevards”. Pegue a linha 8 Balard, desça na estação “Concorde” e sem sair na rua pegue a linha 12 Mairie D’ Issy e desça na estação “Sevres Babylone”, saia na rua e caminhe a pé até a Capela que fica na Rue Du Bac 140.
Se vc estiver no Louvre e quiser ir na Capela é só atravessar o Rio Sena e pegar a Rue Du Bac, a pé deve dar uns 20 min. Do Museu D’Orsay e do Museu Rodin também dá pra ir caminhando.
