About
Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil is a parish church in the Auteuil area of Paris’s 16th arrondissement. It matters first as a living place of worship. It also appeals to travelers who enjoy religious architecture in a local setting.
This is best approached as a short stop rather than a major monument visit. Its interest lies in the neighborhood context, the interior atmosphere, and the sense of everyday parish life. It is not a museum church. A respectful, low-key visit suits it best.
For a smart visit, aim for a quiet daytime slot. Opening times and mass schedules may change with parish activity and the liturgical calendar. It is wise to check the latest information before setting out, especially on Sundays or religious feast days.
Access is straightforward from the Auteuil area and nearby metro connections. The church pairs well with a walk through the residential 16th arrondissement. Allow a brief stop for a look inside, or longer if you plan to attend a service. In colder months, an indoor visit here also works well between outdoor walks.
The Concierge's Tip
Go in late morning or early afternoon on a weekday if you want a quieter visit. It is usually easier to step inside discreetly then. If you hope to attend mass, check the parish schedule the same day. Times may vary. Pair the church with a walk around Auteuil rather than making it a standalone detour. In colder or rainy weather, it also makes a practical indoor stop between outdoor visits.

- Where is Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil church located?
- The church is in the Auteuil neighborhood, in Paris’s 16th arrondissement. It sits within a largely residential part of western Paris. For an easy arrival, head for the Auteuil area by metro or car drop-off. It is best to confirm the exact address on your map app before leaving, especially if you are coming between appointments.
- Can you visit Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil without attending mass?
- Yes, a short visit is possible when the church is open and no service is underway. This is an active place of worship, so access depends on parish life rather than museum-style hours. A quiet, respectful visit is the right approach. Check same-day information before you go, as schedules can shift.
- What are the mass times at Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil?
- Mass times may vary by day, season, and the liturgical calendar. It is not wise to rely on older listings. If you want to attend today or on Sunday, check the parish’s official channels on the same day. That is the safest way to avoid a wasted trip, especially around holidays or special services.
- What is the history of Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil?
- The church belongs to the religious and local history of the Auteuil neighborhood. For visitors, the key point is to see it as a living parish shaped by the area’s development over time. If you want a fuller historical background, consult parish material or local heritage resources before your visit.
- How much time should you allow for a visit?
- In most cases, allow a short stop. A few minutes may be enough to step inside and take in the atmosphere. If you want to sit quietly or attend a service, plan for longer. The church works well as part of a broader walk through the 16th arrondissement rather than as a long standalone visit.
- When is the best time to visit Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil?
- A quiet daytime slot, outside services, is often the best choice for a simple visit. Weekdays can feel easier than Sundays if you want a calm look inside. If your purpose is to attend mass, choose a service time confirmed that same day. In winter or wet weather, it also makes a convenient indoor stop.
- Is Notre-Dame-d’Auteuil suitable for families?
- Yes, provided the visit stays short and quiet. It suits children who can respect silence and the religious character of the space. This is not an interactive museum visit. It works better as one stop on a neighborhood walk, with a flexible pace and no expectation of long on-site activities.
