Resembling a mini-Notre Dame, with twin conical steeples, this delightful basilica presides
over a pretty park. Dating from 1856, its sculptures, paintings and stained glass are the
handiwork of some of the 19th century's finest artists, including Pradier, Préault, Guillaume,
Lenepveu and Thibaut. The organ is magnificent.
