Visit to the Chapelle Lalique
Audio visit.
This chapel contains one of the first monumental expressions of glass slabs, an architectural technique pioneered by René Lalique.
Listed as a Historic Monument, this superb ensemble has been restored in the spirit of the original work designed by Lalique in 1930 for the Community’s Centenary.
Highlights include the translucent Christ on the Cross, three stained glass windows, an altarpiece, a tabernacle door, illuminated columns and a sanctuary lamp.
Also on show: the Stations of the Cross by Alix Aymé on lacquer (1948), the 15th station designed by Isabelle Emmerique, master lacquerer (2014) and its marquetry support designed by Marie Collino (2015); the reliquary-giant of Saint Florida (wax restored in 2015 by Stéphanie Duboc).
