The small town of Araules can be seen from afar. The Saint-Marcellin church contains a sanctuary: Notre-Dame d'Araules.
There is a large annual pilgrimage to this shrine, always on August 15th.
Our Lady is said to have appeared to two shepherd children in 1846. A magnificently painted stained glass window commemorates this day.

The great pilgrimage to the church of Araules on August 15th refers to one of the many memorial or festival days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. This goes back to the festival of her physical assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on this date. In the Orthodox churches the feast is called the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.
In many rural areas of Germany it is customary for bundles of herbs to be collected by the population on this day and blessed in the festival service.
