    The listed Basilica of Notre-Dame (Basilica of Our Lady) is one of the showpieces of Archachon and is highly valued by the residents. The church was built between 1858 and 1860 in the Gothic style and houses the Chapelle des Marins. The Sailors' Chapel, dedicated to the Miraculous Virgin, was built by Thomas Illyricus after he found a statue of the Virgin on the beach.

      The Notre-Dame Basilica is one of Arcachon's most important landmarks and a place dear to the hearts of its residents. Built between 1858 and 1860 in the Gothic style, it houses the Sailors' Chapel, erected in honor of the Miraculous Virgin—a statue of the Virgin Mary said to have been discovered on the beach by the Franciscan Thomas Illyricus.
