Notre-Dame de la Daurade

The Basilica of the Daurade is on the Garonne river, just off the square and pier that bears its name. It usually passes unnoticed because it's closed and bystanders may be looking at the river. Its exterior architecture is very striking and visitors are amazed as the interior is much larger than it appears, it's quite bleak, except in the chapel of Notre Dame de la Daurade that occupies the south end of the transept. The Virgin of the black hood, similar to the Catalan Black Madonna, stands (with baby Jesus in her left arm and a cane on her right) and is covered with clothes that change color
