Basilique Notre-Dame de Verdelais

The Notre-Dame de Verdelais Basilica features a Renaissance architectural design with a transept, baroque altarpiece, and a bell tower topped by a Virgin Mary statue.

The church originated from an 11th-century chapel built to house a Virgin and Child statue brought back from the First Crusade by Géraud de Graves.

The basilica maintains its status as a pilgrimage center where visitors gather to view the miraculous Virgin statue and numerous votive offerings.

The church includes wide front paths that accommodate outdoor ceremonies and religious gatherings throughout the calendar year.

The bell tower contains a 3.75-meter-tall statue of Virgin Mary from 1875, which received 2,500 new gold leaves during its 2004 restoration.
