Ars Basilica
350,000 pilgrims from around the world stop in the village of Ars every year for a spiritual or tourist break.
Pope John Paul II visited in October 1986.
The basilica is built on the site of a 12th century Roman church and was expanded in 1862.
The building's originality, height and wonderful painted interior will take your breath away.
