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

It took several periods to build this church on the hill of Sion. Work began in the 10th century. A huge 45-metre tower, topped by a 7-metre, 8-ton Virgin Mary (cast in the Vaucouleurs workshops), saw the light of day in 1870. It is one of Lorraine's largest pilgrimages, welcoming international religious communities and symbolizing Franco-German reconciliation. A magnificent monument steeped in history.

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.

Lieu spirituel, de recueillement et historique Une vue splendide. Gratuit.
Parking à proximité (gratuit). Bar restaurant ( prix tres correct). Randonnée à faire autour. Les petites étoiles (encrines) à ramasser ( qui se font tellement rare à présent) datent de la période jurassique, où le lieu était recouvert d'une mer chaude.
