Go there and contact
Strange church with a Romanesque-Byzantine dome in Pibrac, making a pilgrimage every year on June 15
A strange Romanesque-Byzantine domed church stands out against the skyline of the small town of Pibrac. It is the basilica of Sainte-Germaine, built in honor of a young shepherdess who was the object of abuse and numerous miracles during her lifetime and after her death in 1601. Construction by architect Pierre Esquié began in 1901 and was completed in 1967, to mark the centenary of the saint's canonization. An annual pilgrimage takes place on June 15.

Sainte Germaine est une jeune bergère martyre dont le corps, retrouvé intact au XVIIème siècle, fut l’objet d’un culte populaire.
Basilique à coupole de style romano-byzantine, construite par l’architecte Pierre Esquié dès 1901, terminée en style composite pour le centenaire de la canonisation de Sainte Germaine en 1967. Un pèlerinage a lieu chaque année le 15 juin.
