Visit the chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, a high spiritual place in Paris where several apparitions of the Virgin Mary took place in 1830. The Church recognizes these apparitions. It is a place of peace and silence in the heart of Paris. One can invoke the Virgin Mary there with this prayer: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." It is also the occasion to discover the life of Saint Catherine Labouré, to whom the Virgin Mary appeared, and to leave with a medal that the daughters of Charity still share with those whom they meet. Each pilgrim can come to pray in the same spot as the apparitions or in front of the Saint's reliquary. Just a few blocks away, discover the chapel of Saint Vincent de Paul and the relics of this saint. Through this chapel, pilgrims may pray to Saint Vincent, who was a fervent apostle of Charity. Enjoy a panoramic tour of Place de la Concorde, Champs Élysées Avenue, and Arc de Triomphe. External discovery of the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris, with its silhouette immediately recognizable. With more than 6 million visitors each year, it is the most visited monument in France after the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. On the Ile de la Cité, in the historic heart of Paris, visit the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art. It became the symbol of Paris and of Christian France.
