Villes Sanctuaires en France is an association bringing together 19 sanctuaries and 19 tourism offices across France. Its members work together to promote destinations where spirituality, pilgrimage, culture and leisure meet, welcoming visitors from France and around the world. The association’s website helps pilgrims and travelers plan visits to these sanctuary towns, with information about places of worship, pilgrimage routes, notable religious figures, events and practical arrangements such as where to eat and stay.

Visitors can explore the destinations through several themes, including pilgrimage, spiritual renewal, history and culture, heritage, and the surrounding landscapes. The site also highlights shared features of the sanctuaries, connections with UNESCO, Marian devotion and spectacular local settings. An events agenda presents ceremonies, processions, pilgrimages and cultural activities, with dates and details for selected occasions. By bringing destination information together in one place, Villes Sanctuaires en France supports both faith-led journeys and broader tourism, helping people discover the character and experiences of sanctuary towns throughout the country.
