Notre-Dame de la Garde (literally: Our Lady of the Guard), known to local citizens as la Bonne Mère (French for 'the Good Mother'), is a Catholic basilica in [[Marseille]], France, and the city's best-known symbol. The site of a popular Assumption Day pilgrimage, it was the most visited site in Marseille.
