Notre Dame

de l’Assomption

de Passy

88, rue de l'assomption, 75016 Paris

Originally, this chapel was the chapel of the convent of the Fathers of Mercy on Rue de Varennes in Paris. It has simply been transported stone by stone to Passy when the fathers were expelled in 1881. It is dedicated in 1928 to Our Lady of the Assumption of Passy, in view of the nuns of the Assumption whose convent is further down the same street. The chapel was enlarged in 1934 by the architect Labro with the addition of aisles. Finally, in 1952, a second nave was built. Notre- Dame-de-l'Assumption-de-Passy is neo-classical in style with a beautiful dome at the crossroads of the two naves.

Originally, it was the former salon organ of Leonce de St Martin. Its transfer to the church dates back to 1959. Beuchet- Debierre took advantage of the transfer to electrify traction and enlarge the instrument.
