La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière, Lyon, Rhone-Alpes, France
In 1840, nuns from Villeurbanne offered a statue of the Virgin of the Basilica of Our Lady of Africa to the Bishop of Algiers, as a symbol of the links between the two cities. 177 years later, the rector of the Basilica of Algiers, Anselme Tarpaga, decided to offer a replica of this statue at the Basilica of Fourviere, Lyon.
