Presentation

Listed as a sanctuary town in France in the same way as Lourdes or Mont Saint-Michel, Vendeville is home to the Sainte-Rita sanctuary, an unlikely place that attracts 150,000 people every year. Dedicated to the patron saint of hopeless causes, the shrine is a refuge for those who believe in the impossible, in miraculous cures or divine intervention. Whether you are a pilgrim or a curious visitor, the shrine will not leave you indifferent. Soak up the serene atmosphere and be inspired by the history and devotion that surround it.
