Église Notre-Dame-d'Auteuil

The church of Notre-Dame-d'Auteuil replaces a first church from the 10th century, rebuilt in the 14th century, then enlarged in the 15th and 17th centuries. Having become too small for the growing population, the church was rebuilt between 1877 and 1892, as Auteuil, originally a hamlet with its own parish, was attached to Paris in 1860. The church was built in the Romanesque-Byzantine style by the workshop of the diocesan architect Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer.

Église Saint-Christophe-de-Javel

The church of Saint-Christophe-de-Javel was built between 1926 and 1930. A former wooden chapel, built on this site in 1863, was destroyed in 1890, and a temporary chapel was used until 1898 when the church was built in 1926. The present church is the work of the architect Charles-Henri Besnard. The choir's mural, by Henri-Marcel Magne, depicts him surrounded by travellers imploring his protection, and modern means of transport (train, liner, balloon, plane, car), inspired by the district's transport industries, notably the nearby Citroën factories.

Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Passy was built by the Pères de la Miséricorde, a missionary order for the rechristianisation of cities, at the end of the 19th century. Following the law of 1901, the Fathers were expelled and the church was closed until 1907 when it was reopened as an annexe chapel of the church of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-de-Passy. In 1914, the church became a parish church and in 1928, the church took the name of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption.

Chapelle Notre-Dame du Saint-Sacrement

The chapel of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament was built in 1900 in a neo-Romanesque style. The vault is reminiscent of the Abbey of Men in Caen. It is flooded with light, which its beautiful modern stained glass windows allow to pass through. The uniformly white colour of the interior accentuates this impression. The chapel is attached to the parish church of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-de-Passy.
