La Basilique Saint-Maurice est le plus grand édifice religieux de la Ville d'Épinal. Devant la Basilique se trouve un panneau historique avec la description suivante :

Construit du XIème au XIIIème siècle, l'édifice a subi de nombreuses influences : beffroi de style rhénan, nef bourguignonne (début XIIIème), chœur et portail gothiques champenois (fin XIIIème).

L'église, devenue basilique en 1933, renferme une riche statuaire (Vierges à l'enfant, mise au tombeau). Jusqu'à la Révolution, elle a accueilli à la fois les fidèles et les dames composant le chapitre noble Saint-Goëry. La basilique est classée Monument Historique depuis 1846."

Issued on September 22, 1997 and withdrawn on June 12, 1998, it was designed and engraved by French artist Claude Durrens in the tourist category of religious buildings.

Saint-Maurice Basilica is the largest religious building in the City of Epinal. In front of the Basilica there is a historical panel with the following description:

Built from the 11th to the 13th centuries, the building was influenced by many factors: a Rhineland belfry, a Burgundian nave (early 13th century), a Gothic choir and portal in Champagne (late 13th century).

The church, which became a basilica in 1933, contains a rich statuary (Virgins with Child, burial). Until the Revolution, it welcomed both the faithful and the ladies who made up the noble chapter of Saint-Goëry. The basilica has been classified as a Historical Monument since 1846."
