TREASURE OF THE BASILICA OF SAINTE ANNE D'AURAY
Go there and contact
An unusual shrine treasure trove of objects such as altarpieces, reliquaries, a small manuscript and more.
Behind the basilica is the unusual Treasure of the Sanctuary, made up of objects deposited there since 1625 by pilgrims and worshippers of Saint Anne, mother of Mary, generally associated with family and motherhood. Among them, altarpieces, ex-votos, reliquaries, a small Ethiopian manuscript, a chasuble offered by Queen Anne of Austria and, more unexpectedly, the yellow jersey of Jean Robic or the rainbow jersey of a native of Brittany, Bernard Hinault.
