Neo-Gothic religious building which has served as a place of pilgrimage since 1866, when it was built following the subscription launched to rebuild the church of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher which was in very poor condition. Father Jean-Marie Ducros asked all the children of France to send “two sous” in exchange for a prayer to the Virgin Mary. The basilica was so named following the letter that a 10-year-old child sent to the abbot in response to this subscription, in which she used this expression.
