  • Cathedrale du Puy en Velay - Le Puy Cathedral<br />
La cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Puy-en-Velay est un monument majeur de l'art roman et de l'Occident chrétien. Elle a été érigée en basilique mineure par un bref apostolique de Pie IX, le 11 février 1856.<br />
<br />
Une Vierge noire, objet de nombreux pèlerinages au cours des siècles, trône sur un maître-autel baroque. L'actuelle effigie remplace celle qui aurait été offerte par Saint Louis à son retour de la croisade d’Égypte, et qui fut brûlée lors de la Révolution française.<br />
<br />
La cathédrale fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621. Elle a été inscrite en 1998 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO au titre des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle en France.<br />
<br />
Le Puy Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Puy) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, in Le Puy-en-Velay, Auvergne. It has been a centre of pilgrimage in its own right since before the time of Charlemagne, as well as forming part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Since 1998 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France".<br />
<br />
It is the seat of the Bishop of Le Puy.
