chapelle d'artiste incontournable
Isolée sur les hauteurs de Fréjus au coeur d'un parc arboré, cette chapelle dont la décoration fut pensée par Cocteau et réalisée par d'excellents professionnels, est une merveille. Atmosphère envoûtante, unité des ornementations, puits de lumière, le lieu inspire. Il faut noter la belle conservation du lieu et les intéressantes précisions données aux visiteurs par le médiateur culturel.
