Basilica dedicated to Saint Jean-François Régis, one of the evangelizers who went to meet the infidels of Ardèche.
This basilica is dedicated to Saint Jean-François Régis, one of the evangelists who went to meet the infidels of the Ardèche. He died in 1640 during a winter mission and his funeral attracted a considerable crowd, giving rise to the cult of Saint Regis. It was the "success" of this pilgrimage that decided in 1865 to build a church large enough to accommodate this crowd. The basilica was consecrated in 1877 and remains one of the main monuments of religious art in the 19th century, which was turning towards machinismo.

Une fresque représente le pèlerinage de LALOUVESC et les vitraux, la vie de St-Régis.
Elle abrite les reliques du saint ainsi que celles de Ste Thérèse Couderc.
C'est un haut lieu de pèlerinage, très fréquenté, notamment le 15 août.
Sous la basilique se trouve la crypte où fut enterré St-Régis durant 75 ans et où l'on peut voir un monument aux morts, fusillés pour l'exemple.
A côté de la basilique, la chapelle évoque les derniers moments du saint et on peut y voir le lit où il mourut.
