Église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, Catholic church in Sainte-Marie, Réunion, France.

Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption is a white Catholic church in Sainte-Marie, La Réunion, with a wide front facade and a square bell tower rising from the front section. The tower has louvered openings and a cross at its top; below it, a round clock face with dark hands sits above a portico carried on two smooth round columns, with a cross at the gable peak. The main roof is red corrugated metal, and shuttered windows and dark wooden doors flank the facade.

In 1729 Anne Mousse, the first woman born on Réunion, had a chapel built by Domingue Ferrero near her husband Noël Tessier's grave. The present church stands on that chapel's foundations. It was inscribed as a monument historique in 2012.

The church is named for the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, celebrated on 15 August. Its site links to Anne Mousse, the first woman born on Réunion, who in 1729 had a chapel built near her husband Noël Tessier's grave; the church stands on those foundations.

The church stands in Sainte-Marie in northern Réunion, in the southwest Indian Ocean. The square bell tower rises from the front section, with a clock face above a portico carried on two round columns, so the entrance is easy to pick out from the facade. The building is inscribed as a monument historique.

The church stands on the foundations of a chapel built in 1729 by Anne Mousse, the first woman born on Réunion, near the grave of her husband Noël Tessier. The chapel was erected by Domingue Ferrero; only its foundations remain beneath the present building.
