History of the rather calm village east. It was
the stronghold of the famous family of Agoult
to the Middle Ages.
The 14th century there considering being established
an important industry of glassmaking whose quality
was worth the protection of King Rene to him.
One of its hamlets, Lumière was made famous
at the 17th century:
an inhabitant of Goult, attracted by mysterious
lights, miraculeusement is miraculeusement cured
of a eventration. It will be the beginning of
a series of miracles which will attract a multitude
of pilgrims until the 18th century.
This time will see the construction of a convent,
a fashionable country inn for the pilgrims and
a church. The place will fall little by little
into forgets at the 18th century and will owe
its safety only with the devotion of priests missionaries,
Oblats.
Notre Dame de Lumière is always a place
of pilgrimage and rest for the Oblats Fathers.
