St. Stephen's Greek Orthodox Cathedral is the seat of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of France in Paris. It is located at 7 rue Georges-Bizet, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It was consecrated on 22 December 1895.
History
Before the church was consecrated, there had been at least two attempts at creating a permanent Greek Orthodox place of worship in Paris.
People for whom funeral offices were held in this church include Charles Debbas (August 1935),[3][4] Eleftherios Venizelos (21 March 1936) and Maria Callas (20 September 1977). The wedding of Édith Piaf and Théo Sarapo was celebrated there also on 9 October 1962.
