Basilica of Saint Therese of Lisieux

What an amazing place, just outstanding with beautiful gothic designs. Very somber basilica well worth a visit, with plenty of parking and atop of a hill from the village of lesaux. Apparently pope John Paul II visited in 1980 and I am guessing there was a visitor centre erected in honour of his visit. In the centre there was a model display covering the time line of Jesus and his life. I tried to take a video of this but I think it was automatically shortened, neither the less, you get the idea. So glad we visited as it was great. There was also a market on the day we visited which was very quaint, we had to as at the tourist information office for the location of the market, which was situated behind the library. Definitely worth visiting the area 👍 please like this review 🙏 many thanks 😃

Beautiful and very imposing basilica finished in the 1950's and dedicated to the life of Saint Therese. Be sure to visit the crypt and the tableaux which commemorates the stages of Saint Therese's life from birth to her death at the age of 24. All entries are free.

Always an interesting place to bring visitors. An impressive structure with very nice parking area and easy access to the basilica. The mosaic work is incredible.

A very vast, impressive Cathedral. Pity the gift shop only sold french books. Definitely worth a visit.

A fascinating experience, with lots to reflect on and give thanks for in the life of St Therese of Lisieux. The cloister gets relatively few visitors, but it's the clearest glimpse of her longing for all people, even the worst of criminals, to find peace in God's love

Beautiful basilica in wonderful surroundings well worth the climb to visit.

Wow... wow... wow..... It was a fantastic and significant journey. Never considered inventing this place. I am so grateful that St. Theresa of Lisieux brought me to see her so I might be refreshed.

This church has great access for handicap entry.
Her whole life story is shared in pictures of her from childhood through her years in the cloister.
There is a gift shop there for those who would like a memento.

One of the most beautiful basilicas I have ever seen!! It is well worth the extra walk up the outside backstairs to the stations of the cross. That you will find the burial site of St Therese's parents.

This is a large building dedicated to St. Teresa of Lisieux. There is a lot to see on the site beside the church itself. Inside the church is beautifully decorated with mosaics of many saints and holy images. Because of the size it wasn't crowded or noisy inside despite the number of visitors.
I would have liked to have been able to spend a couple of hours here but wasn't able to.

Impressive place, looks very old, so surprised to find it was built in the 30's and finished in 1954. Good parking outside and free informative brochures in many languages just inside the entrance.

You have to see this it's worth the drive from anywhere in France, in my opinion not even Notre Dame compares and it's off the tourist track. So far no church in Europe compares, while the outside is impressive enough the inside will blow you away!

The Basilica of Sainte-Thérèse of Lisieux is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica dedicated to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Located in Lisieux, France, the large basilica can accommodate 4,000 people and, with more than two million visitors a year, is the second largest pilgrimage site in France, after Lourdes.

St Therese was an inspirational young woman. The Bascilica is very large and interesting. If you can climb steps it's worth going up to the dome.

Quite the trek by train from Paris to get here and it's BEAUTIFUL and worth it! You can no longer see the entire body of St Therese, but her relic is there inside the church. She's a modern Saint for the ages and a grata example of humility amd perseverance in the face of suffering

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been!

Wow, impressive. Really well worth a visit. Don't miss walking up the 300 steps to view the dome as well as outside to look over the view. it's €2 per adult and €1 for a child.

Very nice Basilica of Lisieux. Free entrance and beautiful to see the inside. Would recommend this if you are around.

One of the most beautiful basilicas i’ve ever been to. The place is very holy as it holds the relics of Saint Thérèse. The mosaics and frescos that decorate the ceiling are very modern and i’ve never seen such art before. Make sure to visit the crypts where a tomb holds the remains of her parents
