Notes
The nave and the side-aisles have been realized as three-hinged frames that are spaced 7 meters apart (about 23 feet).
The span of the central nave is 12 meters (about 40 feet) between axis of columns. The cantilever span of the side aisles is 3 meters (about 10 feet).
Columns are designed in reinforced concrete with variable section, hinged at the base. The section is circular at the bottom and elliptical at the top.
The transverse beams at the top of the columns are constituted of four hyperbolic paraboloid thin shell elements with a thickness of 7 cm.
The church has been listed as national historic monument in order to protect it as part of France's most important structures of the twentieth century.
