During the terrible volcanic eruption of 1977, when dozens of houses in the village of Sainte-Rose were destroyed by lava, this church was miraculously spared. The lava flow surrounded the church, but never penetrated inside. Built in 1927, L'Enfant-Jésus-de-Prague church was renamed Notre-Dame-des-Laves. In front of it, a statue, La Métisse, created by local artists, symbolizes the suffering endured by the inhabitants at the time.

L'histoire autour de cette église est plus impressionnante que l'église en elle-même. Cela vaut quand même le détour!

L'église en elle-même n'a rien d'exceptionnelle, mais ce qui l'entoure oui!
Certains ont cru à une intervention divine, mais il faut le dire ceci est bien plus rationnel que cela. Vaut bien entendu l'arrêt, car le site reste impressionnant quoiqu'il en soit!

Pas mal, mais pas exceptionnelle non plus. Le miracle s'explique par des phénomènes physiques, d'ailleurs.

Si vous faites le tour de l'ile, arrêtez vous au niveau de l'église, c'est incroyable de la voir entourée de lave!! c'est comme si elle était emprisonnée!
