This church located on the hill of Sion has a huge tower of 45 m topped by a Virgin of 7 m and 8 tons

Several periods were necessary to completely build this church located on the hill of Sion. The work began in the 10th century. An immense tower of 45 m surmounted by a Virgin of 7 m and 8 tons (melted in the workshops of Vaucouleurs) is born in 1870. It is one of the largest pilgrimages in Lorraine, welcoming international religious communities, also a symbol of Franco-German reconciliation. A magnificent monument, full of history.

A ne pas manquer
Un monument marial très réputé, c'est le petit Lourdes lorrain "Hi tech ", avec des rangées de bougies à tous prix, accessibles uniquement par carte bancaire "contacte" . Une collection d'ex-voto intéressante.
Le parcours du sanctuaire est ponctué de notices explicatives touffues, assez rares pour être signalées. Ainsi ,on apprend tout sur les saints illustrant les magnifiques vitraux, fin XIXe début XXe.

Après la balade sur la colline vous pourrez vous recueillir à la basilique. Un lieu très calme.

La basilique offre un lieu de recueillement et de quiétude.
Il faut prendre le temps de comprendre pourquoi elle reste un haut lieux
