According to a charter of 1182, the abbey Saint-Symphorien de Beauvais has guests from Allonne, that is to say that it receives the taxes paid by these inhabitants. This link with the Abbey Saint-Symphorien easily explains the second word of the church.

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.

The church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix, built between 1863 and 1880, combines neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic elements. The present church was designed by the architect Louis-Jean-Antoine Héret (1821-1899). It is also remarkable for its 78-metre high bell tower and the monumental staircase that precedes its façade. It is one of the largest churches in Paris (the 4th largest church in Paris).

The church of Notre-Dame de la Gare is a neo-Romanesque church which was consecrated on 11 November 1859. The construction of the church began in 1847 when the parish territory was in the commune of Ivry. Claude Naissant was the architect.

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).

Built in 1976 by the architect Clovis Normand to house the reliquary of the Sainte-Chandelle.

In 1882, Father Debras was already thinking of building a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Seeing the deplorable state of the district known as "Le Cailloux", he intended to echo the Marian devotion of Abbé G. Bellanger (1861-1902) in this somewhat isolated area to the north of the city, while paying homage to the Patroness of Soldiers. Having never seen his work finished, it was Abbé Debout who took over the work in 1906. The new parish was given a vicar, Peugnet, who launched the bulletin "Notre-Dame des Armées" and a subscription in order to collect funds to continue the work on the church.

The church of Notre-Dame-des-Champs was built between 1867 and 1876. The architecture of the present church is in the Romanesque style. Its construction was entrusted to Léon Ginain, architect, from 1867 to 1876 and the contractor was Eugène Bonté. It was built during the rectorship of Abbé Cognat. The work was interrupted during the 1870 war and then resumed until its completion. The church was built on a very old church site. After the conversion of the Paris region to Christianity, a temple on this site was already dedicated to the Virgin Mary and named Notre-Dame-des-Vignes, as the area was then surrounded by vineyards.

Built in the 19th century, started in 1834 and finished in 1848.

The church of Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Conseil is located on the site of the former chapel of the Maison des Frères de Saint Vincent de Paul. The church was completed in 1898 and became a parish in 1948.
