Marian apparitions of Notre-Dame du Laus, Marian apparition site in Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, France
The Notre-Dame du Laus sanctuary includes a basilica, the Chapel of Good Encounter, and an 18th-century marble statue at the foot of the French Alps.
Between 1664 and 1718, shepherdess Benoîte Rencurel reported regular encounters with the Virgin Mary, leading to the construction of a church in 1666.
The Vatican officially recognized the supernatural nature of the apparitions on May 5, 2008, confirming the site's importance in Catholic tradition.
The sanctuary offers year-round accommodations, including hotel rooms, a restaurant, bookstore, and regular religious services for visitors and pilgrims.
The sanctuary's oil lamp produces oil that many believers associate with physical and spiritual healing properties throughout the centuries.
