St-Louis-Marie de Monfort Church is a modest church that features a common approach for the period, that of the A-frame. While structurally simple, the A-frame is ideally suited for suburban churches as they tended to be more affordable to building and created a sense of drama and emphasis on volume. When combined with well-defined main facades they clearly emphasized the longitudinal direction of the nave.
