    From Chaillot to the Porte de Saint-Cloud, the sixteenth arrondissement follows the Right Bank of the Seine. Four of its churches are in the record.

    Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption began as the chapel of the Pères de la Miséricorde, built in 1881. The chapel of Sainte-Thérèse at Auteuil was begun in 1924, between the beatification and the canonization of Thérèse of Lisieux. Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot, completed in 1938, and Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal, completed after the Second World War, are both built of concrete and both look to Byzantine models.

    Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot has three recorded visits, in March 2019, September 2025 and February 2026; each of the others has one.
