CHURCH OF SAINTE-MADELEINE
Read moreCharacterized by its flat chevet, this church is under the patronage of Sainte Madeleine, represented seven times in this remarkable stained glass program. The majority was carried out by the Lobin workshop of Tours - between 1860 and 1878. This ensemble presents a large unit of style. The number of glass panes and stained glass windows is quite considerable and, of course, everyone has a history. Visit this church with the President of the Association of Friends of the Church of Sainte-Madeleine: specialist in religious heritage, he makes this walk between alcoves and chapels absolutely exciting! He décryptera every window, including the one so called "Japanese", which is deemed to be unparalleled so far, but also mural paintings, including an ex-voto reminiscent of an epidemic of plague. In one of the chapels, a burial urn contains the heart of the painter Anne-Louis Girodet (to whom the city also devoted a museum, currently in work), while the great christ is the model carved by Triqueti, for his christ of the Invalides. The spire of the bell was restored by a pupil of Violet the Duke. The church has undergone an important internal and external work campaign to bring it back to its ancient splendour.
