Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Mont-Roland, Religious sanctuary in Jouhe, France.

The Notre-Dame de Mont-Roland Sanctuary stands on a 343-meter hill, providing views of the Jura mountains and Saône plains across the region.

The sanctuary's origins trace back to 1089, confirmed by Pope Urban II's papal bull connecting it to the nearby Jouhe priory and Baume-les-Messieurs abbey.

The site holds regular pilgrimages, including a regional gathering on August 2nd and a Portuguese pilgrimage to Nossa Senhora de Fatima since 1967.

The sanctuary maintains facilities for 150 guests, offering accommodations for religious retreats, seminars, congresses, and individual spiritual stays throughout the year.

The sanctuary forms a connection point between the dioceses of Saint-Claude in France and Thiès in Senegal through a twinning agreement established in 1992.
