Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Boulogne

Built in the village of Menus from about 1330 to 1467, out of devotion to Our Lady of Boulogne-sur-Mer, the Gothic church gave the town its later name. It was classified as a historic monument in 1862. Eugène Millet restored it from 1860 to 1863, and in the 1870s it received windows by Émile Hirsch, choir paintings by Charles Lameire and a high altar by Claude Jacquemin, shown at Metz in 1867. The photograph of 9 September 2026 finds the choir under scaffolding, with the altar lit in front of it.
