Comment

The neo-Gothic Notre-Dame de Montligeon basilica (1896-1911), built in the Latin cross style. It was founded by Abbé Paul Buguet, the village priest. Pilgrimages on May 1, Ascension Day, Assumption Day and the Sunday before November 16 (feast of Notre-Dame Libératrice). Some of the stained-glass windows and mosaics were created by Louis Barillet; they depict the "Apocalypse" and the "Last Judgment", as well as the lives of saints, prophets and apostles. The altar is in white Carrara marble. The basilica is owned by an association. It was listed as a Historic Monument in 1978.
