The Hôtel des Invalides was built at the request of Louis XIV to accommodate war invalids. After the Revolution, and under the patronage of Saint-Louis and the Holy Trinity, the church was administratively attached to the Army Museum from its creation in 1905. The soldiers' church is now the cathedral of the French armies.
The Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde is one of the five minor basilicas of Paris. Before its construction from 1846 to 1857, the church of Saint Valère stood, formerly the chapel of a monastery dissolved in 1790. The architects of the church, François-Christian Gau (until 1854) and Théodore Ballu, designed with Sainte-Clotilde what is considered to be the first neo-Gothic style church in Europe.
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.
