Basilique Notre-Dame de Bon Secours de Lablachère

The Basilica Notre-Dame de Bon Secours is a religious building with three naves located in the Ardèche region. Inside, classical architectural features and religious artworks fill the space and create the main religious focal point.

Construction of the current building started in 1829 and was completed in 1855, replacing an earlier chapel from 1682 that had become too small. The expansion followed a nobleman's vow seeking divine assistance.

The basilica serves as a gathering place where the faithful come together for prayer and devotion throughout the year. Its name means "Good Help" in French, reflecting the belief in the Virgin Mary's protection and assistance.

The building is open daily to visitors and worshippers, with guided tours available to explore its features. Check visiting times in advance to ensure they do not conflict with religious services.

The building received minor basilica status in 1930, a recognition of its religious standing. Inside is housed a protected historical statue of the Virgin and Child that attracts devoted visitors.
