Statue de Notre-Dame de France

The Statue of Notre-Dame de France is a copper monument in Baillet-en-France depicting the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. The work rises on a tall pedestal and remains visible from the nearby road.

The artist Roger de Villiers created the work originally for a pavilion at the 1937 Paris World's Fair. The statue was later placed at this site to serve as a religious landmark in the region.

The statue marks a pilgrimage site where visitors come to pray and reflect. People gather here to connect with Marian devotion and spiritual practice.

The monument is located north of Paris and easy to spot as it rises above the surrounding area. The site can be explored on foot and offers open access to visitors throughout the day.

A set of 50 bells plays Marian songs every 15 minutes throughout the day at the statue's base. This musical feature was added in 2003 and shapes the experience of visitors at the monument.
