The church of the Menoux dates from the nineteenth century. While its neo-Gothic exterior has little interest, it is remarkable for its interior décor. It is entirely decorated with very original paintings, made the Bolivian artist Jorge Carrasco (1919-2006). In the 1970 s, he designed a bright color decor. From ground to ceiling, he traced down sinuous and round motifs that proved fascinating and even hypnotitic. A psychedelic decor. The painter, who lived over thirty years in the Menoux, took eight years to realize this unique decor.

Œuvre unique au monde
Lieu magique. Carrasco merci de nous ouvrir l'âme et l'esprit. Vous êtes un artiste comme il en existe peu. Faire don de huit années de votre vie à l'humanité. J'en ai les larmes aux yeux. Tout y est. Le commencement, la vie la mort les religions et l'humain dans tout ce qui le caractérise. Un grand merci. Je reviendrai me ressourcer dans ce lieu unique au monde. ????

curiosité étonnante
la vallée des peintres recèle bien des surprises
dans l'église bien quelconque de ce village( néo-gothique du 19ème siècle), on peut admirer les fresques peintes par Jorge Carrasco ,peintre bolivien. Elles recouvrent tout l'intérieur de leurs couleurs éclatantes légèrement inspirées du style baroque colonial de l'Altiplano. Elles sont non figuratives , mais bien de leur époque (style psychédélique des années hippies)
