Choisy-le-Roi is a commune of nearly 42 000 inhabitants located in Île-de-France, in the Val-de-Marne department.

Built in the 18th century on the orders of the King of France, Louis XV, the church of Saint-Louis-et-Saint-Nicolas replaces an edifice deemed too small and too close to the Seine.

The church has a chevet with a roof at the Mansart as well as a pavilion giving direct access to the garden of the castle of Choisy-le-Roi. This entrance permitted the king to have access to Mass directly from his dwelling.
There are only a few elements of the old castle of Choisy-le-Roi. One can still notice the entrance formed of two pavilions of guard, and located in a landscaped park of Napoleon III style. A wing of common is also always visible.
