Basilique Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Minor basilica in Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, France.
The Notre-Dame-du-Laus Basilica stands in the Hautes-Alpes region, featuring a chapel of Bon-Rencontre and marble statues within its stone walls.
The construction of the first church began in 1666 following reported appearances of the Virgin Mary to shepherdess Benoîte Rencurel between 1664 and 1718.
The sanctuary received the status of minor basilica from Pope Leo XIII in 1892, establishing its position among French religious destinations.
The basilica maintains a seating capacity of 300 people and welcomes visitors throughout the year for religious ceremonies and individual prayers.
A permanent oil lamp burns inside the basilica, with its oil considered by believers to possess healing properties for physical and spiritual ailments.
