Statue de Notre-Dame de France, Copper statue at Notre-Dame-de-France oratory, Baillet-en-France, France

The Notre-Dame de France statue measures 7.2 meters in height and depicts the Virgin Mary carrying baby Jesus with arms extended towards the world.

Roger de Villiers created this statue for the 1937 Paris World's Fair Papal Pavilion, following Cardinal Verdier's request for a monument near Paris.

The statue stands as a representation of France's dedication to Mary, commemorating King Louis XIII's consecration of the nation to the Virgin Mary.

Located 18 kilometers north of Paris, the statue rises on a 25-meter pedestal and remains visible from the nearby national road.

A carillon of 50 bells installed in 2003 plays Marian melodies every fifteen minutes throughout the day at the statue's location.
