Built on an ancient pagan place of worship, the current basilica was built at the end of the 19th century in the Norman neo-Gothic style. It houses a statue of a black virgin dating from 1580, which replaces the original statue discovered in 1150.

This 13th century church has a special bell tower. The three floors and the natural stone spire are together 67 m high. The nave and aisles are Romanesque. The vault was later modified. The raised choir is 14th century. Interesting is the large natural stone altarpiece in Louis xIV style and a Crucifixion (1570) painted on wood in the left chapel.

Cap Romain Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the coast at Cap Romain there is a reef with fossil sponges, a remnant of a tropical sea from the Jurassic period (vulnerable area, protected as a national nature reserve.) Some larger archaeological finds testify to the Roman presence, which gave the cape its name.

Whale Museum

Highlight • Monument

In the municipal park, a beautiful shady garden full of flowers, there is a 19 m whale skeleton of a whale that washed up on the beach in 1885. On the night of January 14 to 15, 1885, a whale of 40 tons and 19 meters long ran aground on the banks of the Côte de Nacre near Luc-sur-Mer at the place called "Brèche du Moulin".
His skeleton is now installed in the city park and attracts many visitors.
To make the visit more attractive and cultural, a Whale House has been designed and built for individuals and groups (this museum is managed by the association called "the Brotherhood of the Knights of the Whale").
