Basilique Notre-Dame de la Recouvrance, Minor basilica in Les Tourailles, France.
The Notre-Dame de la Recouvrance Basilica stands in a valley near the Rouvre River, featuring traditional Norman architectural elements and stone construction.
The first monastery and church were established in Les Tourailles during the 9th century, but were destroyed during the Norman invasion.
The basilica houses a statue of the Virgin Mary, which was rediscovered in the 19th century and decorated in the Italian Madonna style.
The basilica welcomes visitors throughout the year and is accessible via multiple tourist information offices in Flers, Saint-Philbert-sur-Orne, and La Ferté-Macé.
King Henry IV prayed in this church in 1590, despite being Protestant at the time, marking a notable moment in French religious history.
