About Basilique Sainte Therese de Lisieux

Add to favorites

A Romano-Byzantine Splendor Erected in honor of Saint Thérèse shortly after her canonization, this monumental basilica is one of the largest churches built in the 20th century. Its architecture is inspired by the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris, distinguished by its immense white dome that dominates the entire city. Inside, the visual impact is complete: the walls and vaults are covered with vibrant mosaics that tell the story of Thérèse's "Little Way," bathing the space in a golden and colorful light of rare serenity. A Center of Global Spirituality Beyond its architectural achievement, the Basilica is a place filled with emotion. It includes a crypt entirely decorated with marble and mosaics, as well as a reliquary dedicated to Thérèse's parents, Louis and Zélie Martin (also canonized). Whether one comes for faith or for art, the site impresses with its scale and the finesse of its details, offering a space for contemplation capable of accommodating thousands of visitors from all over the world.

Tip for an even more exceptional visit.

Don't miss the Crypt: Many visitors only see the upper level, but the crypt is often considered more intimate and impressive, with its mosaics on the floor and ceiling. It's a true gem hidden beneath the main nave. The Dome's Panoramic View: If you're feeling energetic, climb to the top of the dome! The ascent allows you to admire the exterior architectural details up close and, above all, offers a breathtaking 360° view of Lisieux and the rolling landscapes of the Pays d'Auge.
