Doctor Schweitzer played the organ in this church which is dominated by the tomb of Marechal de Saxe, commissioned by a grateful Louis XV from the sculptor Jean Baptiste Pigalle.
The winner of the battle of Fontenoy was foreigner, protestant and a natural child ! He could not be buried, against the wish of Louis XV, in Saint-Denis near Paris.
At last, Saint-Thomas was chosen for being Lutheran and...in France ! The enormous but delicate marble sculpture is a must see.
