The shrine is in Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, around twenty kilometres from Gap. Allow about 3 h 30 from Lyon, via Grenoble and the Route Napoléon, with a break on request. From Saint-Exupéry airport or Part-Dieu station, your chauffeur meets you at the exit.

The shrine and its history

From 1664 to 1718, a young shepherdess, Benoîte Rencurel, received apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Le Laus. They were officially recognised by the Church in 2008. Known for its welcome to pilgrims and the oil from the lamp burning before the tabernacle, the shrine offers a peaceful setting in the heart of the mountains.
