Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Médaille Miraculeuse (Rue du Bac)

Paris (7e arrondissement)

On 18 July 1830, the novice Catherine Labouré, aged 24, claimed to have seen the Virgin in the chapel of the Daughters of Charity. A second apparition, in November, is said to have inspired the design of the "Miraculous Medal", since distributed in millions of copies. The Catholic Church has recognised these apparitions; Catherine Labouré, canonised in 1947, rests in the chapel, which has become one of the most visited sanctuaries in Paris.
