BASILIQUE NOTRE-DAME
Elevated to the status of basilica minor in 1932 by Pope Pius XI, this church dates back to 1201, but was completely remodeled at the end of the 18th century by the Berchtold brothers, with paintings by Gottfried Locher. A major restoration, completed in 2011, has brought many of the works to the fore. The Neapolitan crib on display near the entrance is unique. It features 75 figurines, the oldest dating back to the 18th century. Scenes from everyday life are depicted on the right: a tavern, a market and even courtesans on the balcony.
