Sanctuaire Notre-Dame du Laus, Catholic sanctuary in Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, France.
The basilica and its surrounding chapels stand in a mountain valley of Hautes-Alpes, marked by religious structures and pilgrimage paths.
The sanctuary dates from 1666 when construction began following apparitions of the Virgin Mary to shepherdess Benoîte Rencurel between 1664 and 1718.
The site received Vatican recognition with Pope Pius IX authorizing the canonical coronation in 1855 and Pope Leo XIII granting the basilica title in 1894.
The main basilica accommodates 300 people and offers daily masses, confessions, and religious services throughout the year for visiting pilgrims.
The sanctuary contains a perpetually burning oil lamp near the Bon-Rencontre chapel, with its oil considered to possess healing properties for faithful applicants.
