Sainte-Anne-d'Auray, Pilgrimage site in Morbihan, France
The Basilica of Sainte-Anne d'Auray features Neo-Gothic architecture and stands as the central monument of this religious commune in northwestern France.
In the 17th century, farmer Yves Nicolazic reported multiple appearances of Saint Anne, leading to the construction of a chapel approved by Bishop Sebastien de Rosmadec.
The Grand Pardon of Sainte Anne celebration takes place annually on July 26th, bringing together thousands of pilgrims for religious services and community gatherings.
The commune offers year-round accommodations, guided tours of religious landmarks, and maintains a media library alongside municipal facilities for visitors and residents.
Sainte-Anne-d'Auray ranks as France's third most visited pilgrimage destination, following Lourdes and Lisieux, attracting devoted followers throughout the calendar year.
