An expiatory chapel, Notre-Dame de Consolation, was built on the location of the Bazar. The Bazar de la Charité was an annual charity event organized by the French Catholic aristocracy in Paris from 1885 onwards. It is best known for the fire at the 1897 bazaar that claimed 126 lives, many of them aristocratic women, the most notable of whom was Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Alençon, née Sophie Charlotte of Bavaria. The disaster was reported nationally and internationally. This chapel is dedicated to victims of fire and serves the Italian Catholic community in Paris (Mission Catholique Italienne).
