Site Details
The Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, located at 2 Rte des Tribunes in Paris, holds a unique religious significance for Catholic pilgrims, though not in the traditional sense of a church or shrine. Its importance stems from its historical association with the annual pilgrimage to the nearby Basilica of Saint-Cloud. For centuries, devout Catholics making their way to venerate Saint-Cloud would pass through the Hippodrome grounds, imbuing the location with a spiritual aura through association. The area's proximity to the Basilica and its role as a transit point for countless pilgrims over time has woven it into the fabric of the pilgrimage tradition, making it a significant, albeit less overtly religious, site for those undertaking this journey of faith. This subtle, yet profound connection to the sacred adds a layer of meaning to the experience for many pilgrims.
