Basilica of Our Lady of the Children

Highlight • Other

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.

The column is located in the village of Bruère-Allichamps, at the intersection of two roads, and is surrounded by a small park with a picnic area. You can also enjoy the view of the Cher valley from the nearby hill, where you will find an orchard and a panoramic viewpoint.
