The Basilique Sainte-Thérèse-de-Lisieux was founded in Romanesque-Byzantine style in memory of Sainte Thérèsede l’Enfant Jésus. Construction of the church began in 1929 and it was consecrated in 1954.

The walls and ceiling of the basilica are largely covered with marble and mosaics. These vibrant works of art, created by Pierre Gaudin, depict scenes from the lives of Christ and Sainte Thérèse. The absence of columns in the immense interior provides an unobstructed view for 4.000 worshippers.
