The Basilica of l'Epine is a masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic art which has been a place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages with a humble chapel which has existed since 1200.
In 1400, shepherds are said to have discovered a miraculous statue of the Virgin and Child in a burning thornbush. The current church would have been built to house the statue. The cult has developed to the point of making it the subject of one of the great pilgrimages in the north of the kingdom.
