Anecdote
In Champagne-sur-Seine, the Orthodox church of Notre-Dame-de-Toutes-les-Protections was built by the community of Russian immigrants who arrived after the October Revolution, many of whom worked at the Schneider factory. Designed by the engineer J. Popandopoulo, it has walls of cement, concrete blocks and wood, and its steel onion dome was made by two factory employees. Its iconostasis was made by a nun from the Moisenay hermitage. Labelled « Patrimoine du XXe siècle » in 2011, it was restored for 230,000 euros.
