Église Notre-Dame-de-Paradis d'Hennebont, Gothic basilica in Hennebont, France.

The Notre-Dame-de-Paradis basilica features high vaults, flying buttresses, and large windows that allow natural light to illuminate the interior space.

Construction of the basilica began in 1514 on Paradise Square after François Michart presented the project, and its consecration took place in 1524.

The five bells of the basilica, named Clotilde, Félicie, Marie, Joséphine, and Rosalie, were cast in Villedieu-les-Poêles during the 19th century.

The basilica remains closed to visitors due to damage from the CIARAN storm, which caused a partial collapse of the roof structure.

The basilica's organ, installed in 1642 by Brother Nicolas de Sainte-Cécile, stands as the oldest instrument of its kind in Brittany.
