Description

This church in reinforced concrete was built between 1955 and 1958 by Guillaume Gillet. Note how the chevet seems to bow as you look up - an effect accentuated by the 56m-high bell tower. In the remarkably lofty interior, illuminated by 500m² of stained glass, the triangular glass panel of the Virgin May in Baccarat glass is particularly impressive. The large hammered tin organ is the work of Robert Boisseau from Poitiers.
