The Virgin and Child

Here is the statue of the Virgin and Child — the one that stands atop the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde. Affectionately called La Bonne Mère (“the Good Mother”) by the people of Marseille, this is one of the most faithful reproductions, cast in resin and finished in vibrant colors. The colors change over time, just like in fashion, following the seasons and trends.

The Virgin, a symbol of protection

Covered in gold and overlooking the city of Marseille, the original statue has become its emblem over the centuries. Mystical yet familiar, she watches over the people and is deeply revered by sailors and fishermen. Bring La Bonne Mère home in full color — she will watch over your household and your children, a timeless symbol of care and protection.
