Notre-Dame-du-Port Basilica

The Basilica of Notre-Dame-du-Port was built in the first third of the 12th century in blond arkose.
On the outside, the elevation of the chevet, the semi-circular arches and the finesse of the sculptures bear witness to the mastery of the builders of the time. The blond arkose is enhanced by the lava stone mosaics that crown the apse. The pyramidal treatment of the chevet, the sculpted program of the south portal and the capitals, in particular the 4 historiated capitals of the choir, are absolutely remarkable.
Inside, the smooth barrel-roofed nave is flanked by two aisles with large arcades and tribunes. The choir is surrounded by an ambulatory with radiating chapels.
Donations from the faithful over the centuries have provided the church with a rich array of paintings, including an Annunciation by Philippe de Champaigne, and sculptures, including a Vierge allaitant (14th-15th century). The basilica has always had a special place in the town, thanks to devotion to the Black Madonna in the crypt, whose pilgrimage is attested to as far back as 1614.
Restoration work was completed in December 2008. The "daffodil" whitewash restored the unity of the interior volumes and highlighted the 19th-century stained glass windows.
