Our Lady of Laus, Marian apparition site in Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, France.

The sanctuary stands at the foot of the Alps in southeastern France, featuring a basilica surrounded by mountain peaks in the Dauphiné region.

Between 1664 and 1718, shepherdess Benoîte Rencurel reported daily encounters with the Virgin Mary, who identified herself as the Reconciler of Sinners.

The sanctuary contains the original Notre-Dame de Bon Rencontre chapel, which became integrated into the larger basilica complex that draws pilgrims annually.

Visitors need to travel to Gap by TGV train from Paris or Marseille, then arrange transportation to reach the sanctuary 20 kilometers away.

The sanctuary maintains a collection of oil from the basilica's lamp, which according to tradition, performs healings when applied with faith.
