France is a western European country with a long history and rich religious culture. From prehistoric cave paintings and stone circles to Roman temple ruins to cathedrals and synagogues, the cities and countrysides of France are chock full of religious sites of incomparable beauty and historical significance. Nearly 200 cathedrals still stand in France, most of which were built in the 12th and 13th centuries. Cistercian abbeys dot the countryside, and near the border with Spain is the most popular Catholic shrine in the world: the sacred grotto at Lourdes. |
