About
Its dome can be identified for miles around (101 meters high). Let's be clear, visiting the old town of Boulogne-sur-Mer without stopping at the basilica would be a lèsemajesté crime! Inspired by the cathedrals of Saint-Paul in London and Saint-Louis des Invalides, this colossal ensemble contains unsuspected treasures: the Torlonia altar, made up of 147 varieties of marble and precious metals, the statue of King David, the Buffet des Grandes Orgues, the Sacred Heart altarpiece, a pulpit, frescoes and a crypt unique in France which alone is worth the detour. Information, the dome is inaccessible for work until 2022
