Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Brebières of neo-Byzantine style, which is worth a visit to discover its history.
This basilica is well worth a visit! Stop to admire its colors: its architect, Edmond Duthoit, has brightened up every corner of this neo-Byzantine edifice. Albert's nickname of "Lourdes du Nord" (Lourdes of the North) comes from this church, after a statue of the Virgin Mary fell from the top of the basilica. It was said that its fall would coincide with the end of the war, which indeed it did in 1918 (after more than 2,000 shells!).

Située sur une place et tout près du marché du samedi matin, la Basilique fut construite à la fin du 19ème siècle et reconstruite après la 1ère guerre mondiale.
L'architecture est très originale de style néo-byzantin. L'intérieur est multicolore et très décoré.
Le Musée « Somme 1916 » est acolé à la Basilique, et permet de comprendre le quotidien des soldats dans les tranchées.
