Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres with a gothic bell tower, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO

Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this basilica had to be raised several meters to extract it from the devouring dunes in 1859. The building is still half-buried in the ground in order not to weaken its walls: it is therefore necessary to descend several steps to enter the nave with three bays of the eleventh century. At the top of the 14th century gothic bell tower, you can still see rings that were used to tie horses. A beautiful heritage.

Au cœur de l’ancien Soulac, face à une grande place, la basilique surprend en raison de son histoire. Sur le côté gauche, on voit la rue monter et dépasser la ligne du clocher, marquant ainsi la hauteur des dunes qui ont enseveli pendant deux siècles la basilique que le Cardinal Donnet fit désensabler puis rendre au culte. Lorsqu’on pénètre dans l’église, on descend plusieurs marches pour atteindre le niveau du sol en dalles. On découvrira également, près d’un pilier proche du choeur, les lignes qui marquent les niveaux de la construction au fil des siècles. De l’autre côté, l’histoire du lieu est présentée jusqu’à son inscription au patrimoine de l’UNESCO. La basilique située sur la route de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle invite au recueillement.
