Benoîte Rencurel (1647–1718) was a shepherdess from Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, France who is said to have seen apparitions from the Virgin Mary from 1664 to 1718. Also she is said to have borne stigmata. The apparitions became known as Our Lady of Laus, and the site receives thousands of pilgrim visits a year. On 4 May 2008, Bishop Jean-Michel di Falco of the Diocese of Gap officially recognized the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Benoite Rencurel at the Sanctuary of Laus in the area of Hautes-Alpes, France.

Pronounced, ben-NWAHT while the male version, Benoit, is pronounced, ben-NWAH. I think the male version is much nicer than the female and if I didn't live in a French-speaking country and I wanted a namesake alternative for naming my daughter after a Ben in my family, I'd think about calling her Benoit, even if it is a boy's name in France!
