You can walk all the way around the ramparts. We found it unique and impressive. The museum was also interesting.

Built in the 14th century, the Avioth Basilica is distinguished by its rich Gothic-style decorations. It is also called the Cathedral of the Fields because of its natural setting.

The meadows that stretch across the heights of Avioth, on the edge of the woods to the south of the village, offer a picturesque setting where it is pleasant to walk.

Magnificent citadel to visit absolutely!

Also known as the Basilica of the Fields, Notre-Dame d'Avioth is an impressive Gothic religious building. It has been known as a sanctuary since the 12th century and is therefore an important place of pilgrimage.

The Saint-Martin de Montmédy church is the church of the Saint-Martin parish in the upper town of Montmédy. The church we see today is not the first to be built on this location. Indeed, a sanctuary surrounded by a cemetery would have been present in the upper part of Montmédy as early as the 11th century. Its origins are rather vague, but historians are certain that from 1156 there was a religious building on the site of the current church2. This monument was quite small and had a single, quite slender tower. According to several old plans of Montmédy, researchers can confirm that it occupied approximately the location between the interior pillars of the current building3. In the 18th century, when Vauban strengthened the fortifications, the rear of the church was shortened to allow the widening of the adjacent rampart. The current church was built on the foundations of a more modest church that probably dates from the 12th century.

Notre-Dame d'Avioth became a basilica in 1993 and is also called "the cathedral of the fields". This flamboyant Gothic masterpiece is surprisingly large in the center of a small village in the north of the French department of Meuse, in the heart of the former county of Chiny, near the abbey of Orval and the citadel of Montmédy. Its construction began in the mid-13th century, after the miraculous appearance of a statue of the Virgin Mary, and extended over three phases: the towers and naves in the 13th century, the choir and the sacristy in the 14th century and the merger between the western and eastern parts from 1375 to 1400. The building was classified as a historic monument in 1840. The basilica is famous for its "Recevresse", located at the church enclosure. Considered unique in the world, this small lacework was designed to welcome the devotions of the pilgrims and receive their offerings. It has been on display in the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris since 1898. Until the end of the 18th century, Avioth was a respite church where the Virgin was said to temporarily revive stillborn children in order for them to receive baptism. Today, pilgrims still come in large numbers to pray before the statue of Our Lady of Avioth, especially on July 16 during the ancestral pilgrimage.
