The Romanesque basilica of Paray-le-Monial is contemporary with Cluny Abbey since it was consecrated in 977, and allows us to imagine the splendor of its great neighbor, almost entirely destroyed during the French Revolution. Its orange-yellow limestone stones add to the richness, majesty and simplicity of the place. It is the most visited building in the Saône-et-Loire department.

An impressive basilica in the style of the Cistercians. The monastery of St. Margerite-Marie who experienced the apparitions of Jesus is in the place. There is also the Chapel of the Apparitions and the pilgrimage center.

The Romanesque basilica of Paray le monial is remarkable for the use of a yellow stone for the construction of its walls. The stained glass windows are also very beautiful.
