Go there and contact
A museum retracing the life of St. Francis, with a slide show of scenes from his life during the Wars of Religion.
This museum dedicated to Saint Francis Regis retraces the life of this man of faith. From his training with the Jesuits to his death from exhaustion in 1640, you can follow a diorama of scenes from his life and gain a better understanding of an era shaken by the Wars of Religion. On the heights of Lalouvesc, you can also visit the Pilgrims' Park and walk its Way of the Cross. The chapel is also worth a visit. It's worth noting that the sight of St. Francis Regis dying in his bed, even behind a glass case, can impress the youngest visitors..

Il était entièrement dévoué à aider les pauvres
Les habitants de LALOUVESC ont refusé de restituer son corps aux prêtres. Une basilique a été construite pour y recueillir ses ossements et le village est devenu un lieu de pèlerinage.
Le musée au travers de photos, vidéos, témoignages et diaporama, peintures et statues retrace la vie de ce prêtre canonisé en 1737.
A voir en particulier, le diaporama de 19 tableaux du peintre Georges SERRAZ .
La visite du musée est totalement gratuite.
