History
An original oratory was built on the site in the 11th century. The site is located on Montagne Sainte-Geneviève on a plot that belonged to the canons of Saint-Marcel. In 1158, the building was attested as a parish chapel dedicated to Saint Hilary. The small parish had numerous bookshops —up to 14 on in 1571. During the French Revolution, the church was closed in 1790 and the parish was suppressed in 1793. It was sold as a national good in 1796 and demolished in 1807.Architecture
