The Église du Sacré-Cœur was built between 1926 and 1929 for the Italian Jesuits, whose earlier chapel had become too small; the project was led by Father Pacifique Arici, paid for by the faithful – the composer Louis-Lazare Perruchot among them – and built by the Bulgheroni firm under the architects Louis Notari and Fulbert Aureglia. The first stone was blessed on 22 June 1927 in the presence of Princess Charlotte, and the chapel opened on 10 February 1928. During the Second World War Father Arici saved many Jews with false baptism certificates; the church became a parish in 1965.
