Basilica of Saint-Epvre

Dedicated to St. Epvre, a 6th-c. bishop of Toul, it was funded by the Duke of Parma and local patrons, symbolizing the Catholic resurgence in Lorraine. The basilica features a soaring spire, intricate stained glass, and detailed sculptures, reflecting medieval inspiration and 19th-c. civic pride, marking it as a significant emblem of faith and regional identity.
