The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Bourgogne

It was in this chapel that Jesus would have appeared to St. Margaret Mary in 1673 and 1675. Also called Chapel of Apparitions, this chapel situated at the Visitation Street was built around 1633 and was rebuilt in the late nineteenth century to accommodate large number of pilgrims. The sessionnists are also many to come here every summer and discover this sacred place.  A fresco painted in 1966 and 1973 represents the second appearance in which Christ presents its wounds of the Passion. To the right of the choir, a small chapel houses the shrine of Sainte-Marguerite-Marie Alacoque where a molding wax covering her bones rests.This shrine dates from the beatification of the nun in 1864 before being canonized in 1920.

25 km from Dijon, in the middle of the forests of Val Suzon, after a 20-minute journey on a winding road, the oldest Gothic Gothic building will point in the middle of the trees. Originally a monastery of the century lived instead of the abbey still on foot. Founded by a monk bearing the name "Sigo" who over time will give the name "Seigne", meaning "Seine", although this sanctuary "sanctus sequanus" has even older origins. The abbey church, in itself, sees the beginning of its construction at the end of the th century and will be completed in the th and th centuries under three abbots, including Jean de Blaisy and Pierre de Fontette. Moreover, we can see the tombstones of the latter in the church. The th century portal is decorated with typical plant motifs typical of Burgundy Gothic. The four-pillar nave and collateral is a fine example of the churches plan of that time. A th century carved stone jubé in the nave was moved to the choir. There are th-century stalls. The most exceptional element is undoubtedly the wall paintings dating back to 1504. They represent the legend of Saint Seine in 22 paintings in the north of the church and, to the south the tree of Jesse, Saint Christopher and litanies of the Virgin in a style that draws its influences in the Renaissance.

Dating from the twelfth century, the church was rebuilt in the fifteenth century, and its apse was rebuilt in the nineteenth century according to the model of a Romanesque apse. The gem of this church is its twelfth century crypt, classified as a Historical Monument, and whose walls are covered with frescoes dating from the first half of the fourteenth century: a procession of clerics and laity, unique theme known in Nièvre, greets us at the entrance to the crypt and leads us near the altar where the scene of the Crucifixion is represented. On one of the vaults of the crypt, you can see Christ showing his wounds, surrounded by symbols of the four evangelists. Oak leaves, four-leaf clovers and small flowers complement the decor. Note the elegance of the shapes, the preciousness of the gestures and the attitudes which suggest the artistic style from Cour de Saint Louis.

The Saint-Martin de Laives church is a Catholic church in the commune of Laives, Saône-et-Loire, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1905. The Romanesque church was built in the 11th century, with a vaulted nave and two aisles ending in a cul-de-four. It sits atop a hill overlooking the village of Laives, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding area. The church is accessible by several footpaths and was once an important place of pilgrimage. It is also known for its 16th-century hermitage. Despite periods of neglect and decay, the church has been restored and is now open to the public. It bears witness to the region's religious and architectural history. Visitors can admire its Romanesque architecture, as well as the Gothic chapels added later. The Saint-Martin de Laives church is a place steeped in history and spirituality, well worth a visit for lovers of architecture and religious heritage.
