The present-day Église Saint-Gratien was built with the support of Princess Mathilde Bonaparte and consecrated on 29 May 1859. It houses furnishings from the 18th and 19th centuries that are protected or listed as historic monuments, including the sarcophagus of Marshal de Catinat. The statue of Andromède was created by Franceschi and purchased by Princess Mathilde Bonaparte in 1860 for her park in Saint-Gratien.

A 4.5-metre-long town map of Saint-Gratien, designed by Cyril Pedrosa and permanently displayed in a public space, is located on Rue Pierre Hémonnot. As part of the “Inventaire(s)” project, a recognised illustrator has been invited every year since 2005 to interpret Saint-Gratien and its surroundings from their perspective.

The Espace Jacques Villeglé is dedicated to contemporary art. Its programme includes exhibitions, tours and workshops for the public.
