The parish churches of Paris rebuilt between 1489 and 1590 are defined as an important group late Gothic monuments. They were each modeled after the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and given many of the same characteristics. The architectural features used in the rebuilding of the parish churches are part of a well-defined architectural vocabulary of both classical and flamboyant forms. The building histories show that the stylistic qualities of these monuments are the result of the constant application and reception of prevailing architectural ideas. The architectural arrangements and iconographic programs reveal the role of patrons; the monarchs, in particular, used the rebuilding of the parish churches to help define their own image. In this respect, the ecclesiastic architecture of the sixteenth century is reminiscent of the Court Style of Louis IX.
