The church of Notre-Dame d'Aix-les-Bains, formerly the collegiate church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, is a church built in the Byzantine style at the end of the 19th century.

Bergerac, FR
The church of Notre-Dame is a neo-Gothic building built between 1856 and 1865. The architect Paul Abadie was chosen to build the church as a small cathedral. It was built according to the original plans of the famous Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), architect of the diocesan buildings at the height of his fame, but whose estimate was too expensive for the municipality.
Bressuire, FR
The church of Notre-Dame de Bressuire is a 10th and 11th-century church, mentioned as early as 1090, and topped in the middle of the 16th century by a 56-metre high gothic bell tower overlooking the town. Restoration work, carried out between 1978 and 2000, revealed the 1821 wall paintings that adorn the choir. It was also renovated in 2000 following the storm of December 1999.
Châteauroux, FR
The church of Notre-Dame de Châteauroux was built from 1877 to 1892 on a former Capuchin church that had fallen into disrepair during the 19th century. The plans for the new church were entrusted to the architect Alfred Dauvergne, who proposed a neo-Romanesque church, after the flamboyant Gothic style of the newly built Saint André church (1876). The influence of the Auvergne Romanesque style is notably present in the play of materials and polychromy with stones of different colours and aspects.
Paris, FR
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.
Istres, FR
The church of Notre Dame de Beauvoir was built in the Provençal Romanesque style and dedicated to Notre Dame de Beauvoir in the 13th century. In the 18th century, part of the vaults collapsed; reconstruction took place between 1718 and 1720. A baptistery was built into the west wall of the façade, followed by the construction of a sacristy on the south side in 1771. After the collapse of the bell tower in 1833, the whole eastern part of the church was rebuilt and a new bell tower was built.
Paris, FR
The current building of the Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle church is the third place of worship to be built on the site. In 1551, a first chapel was built, which was destroyed in 1590 by the Catholic League during the siege of Paris by Henry IV. In April 1628, Queen Anne of Austria laid the foundation stone for a new church, which became a parish in 1673. It became national property in 1791, was sold in 1797 to three parishioners, and then bought by the city of Paris in 1803. Following the damage suffered during the Revolution, it threatened to fall into ruin and the decision was taken to rebuild it. Étienne-Hippolyte Godde, an architect for the Paris municipality who also designed the churches of Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement and Saint-Pierre-du-Gros-Caillou in the French capital, was commissioned to rebuild it.
