Catholic Church - St. Gemmes of Sainte-Gemmes-d'Andigné ⛪🌟🌿

Highlight • Other

Gemme lived at the end of the 1st century AD in Lusitania (current Portugal).
This "Portuguese" woman had come to Aquitaine where her fame was very much alive from the earliest antiquity.
Of remarkable beauty, of great distinction, she devoted herself entirely to Jesus Christ, in celibacy for the Kingdom of Heaven, in poverty and service, taking God as the only spouse who deserved his love. Jealous men decided to martyr her to death. Like Jesus, she asked God the Father to forgive her executioners, "because they do not know what they are doing". His courage inspired many conversions to Christianity.

More than ten localities placed under his name in this region testify to his reputation.

Montreuil-sur-Maine cave

Highlight • Cave

The Montreuil-sur-Maine cave is a replica of the famous Lourdes cave in the Pyrenees. The cave was built in 1898 by five young girls inspired by the beauty of the site and the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous. The cave is located on the banks of the Mayenne, where you can also admire the old mill and the lock which regulate the flow of water. The cave is surrounded by a wooded hillside, where you can follow a path with 14 stations of the cross that depict the passion of Christ. The cave is open to visitors all year round.
