Basilique Notre-Dame d'Arcachon, Minor basilica in Arcachon, France.
The Notre-Dame Basilica features Gothic Revival architecture with two towers, a nave, and a dedicated Sailors' Chapel integrated into its structure.
Built between 1856 and 1859, the basilica received its minor basilica status from Pope Pius XII in 1953 and houses a statue found by monk Thomas Illyricus.
The basilica holds a special maritime connection through its Sailors' Chapel, where local fishermen gather to pray before setting out to sea.
Located 200 meters from Arcachon Beach, visitors can attend daily masses and explore the chapel containing the medieval statue of Virgin Mary.
The basilica incorporates the original sailors' chapel, which was rebuilt multiple times since the 16th century due to storms and sand accumulation.
