Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Lumière

Goult

In August 1661, according to an account published as early as 1666 by the Carmelite father Michel du Saint-Esprit, the peasant Antoine de Nantes, aged 63 and crippled by a hernia, is said to have seen near the ruined chapel a great light and "the most beautiful Child": the vision faded at the very moment he found himself cured. Other villagers are said to have seen a light passing over the hills. A diocesan enquiry of 1663 recorded 202 cures in three years — facts reported by religious tradition and not verifiable today.
