La Vierge noire
The small Black Madonna is in the cathedral against a curtain backdrop, resplendent in her full golden robe, with only her face and the Christ Child’s showing. On August 15, the Assumption of Mary is celebrated by carrying the Black Madonna statue in a procession through town. This very well-known statue, in the "Ethiopian" style, was, according to legend, donated by St. Louis, then burnt during the French Revolution and replaced by the present statue dating back to the XVII century.
