Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette church was built between 1963 and 1965 on a former chapel built in 1858 by the Brothers of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. This new church was built according to the plans of the architects Henri Colboc and Jean Dionis du Séjour. This modernist church is an example of the renewal inspired by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
The Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-La-Salle church was built in 1909-10 on the site of the disused buildings of the Guillout box factory. The stained glass windows depicting the life of John Baptist de La Salle are by Jacques-Charles Champigneulle, master glassmaker and son of Charles Champigneulle. The stained glass windows on the left are by Marguerite Huré and date from the 1930s. The mosaic in the apse is the work of Marcel Imbs (1935).
The Rue Chasseloup-Laubat Synagogue in Paris was completed in 1913 by architect Lucien Bechmann. This Neo-Romanesque stone synagogue is still in use.
The church of St. Leon is a parish church built in the 1920s and 1930s. The church was designed by Emile Brunet. It is built of concrete covered with bricks. The art deco-inspired decoration (stained glass windows, mosaics, sculptures, ironwork) is characteristic of the 1930s and 1940s. The mosaic is the work of Auguste Labouret.
