    This chapel is so imposing in its dimensions and importance that it is known here as the Basilica. It is a marvel of 15th century architecture which features numerous gargoyles and a 70 meter high bell tower. All in pure Breton granite.

      The term "basilica," used above by Vincent Reboul, can have two different meanings for places of worship:

      + First, as an architectural style: In the Roman Empire, basilicas were secular buildings (market halls or courtrooms); the early Christian era partially adopted this architectural style and, for this purpose, also the term "basilica."

      + Second, "basilica minor" is an honorary title for special places of worship throughout the world (regardless of the aforementioned architectural style), which has been personally awarded by the Pope since the 18th century.
