On the night of December 1, the historic church of Saint-Éloi in Bordeaux, near the iconic Grosse Cloche, was broken into.
The medieval church, administered by the Institute of the Good Shepherd (Institut du Bon Pasteur), is faithful to the traditional Latin liturgy.
The burglars broke into the sacristy, forced open the safe, and stole offerings. They also smashed the stained glass window above the high altar.
Losses are estimated at €2,000, while repairs to the stained glass window could exceed €10,000.
Father Grégory Lutz-Wiest told Le Figaro that the church had been defaced with graffiti a week earlier during a feminist protest. He expressed concern about a rise in Christianophobia in France.
