Description
Desecrated and now open to new forms of heritage enhancement, Notre Dame de Lourdes church reveals a place where the strata of time meet. Entering the building, you discover a space where Merovingian remains, Cistercian traces and more recent religious architecture cohabit, offering a rare reading of local history over several centuries.
The site is now largely dedicated to archaeological exhibitions. Here, you can observe the remains unearthed on the site of the former Cistercian abbey, presented in a way that restores their historical context. These discoveries allow us to imagine the daily lives of the religious communities who shaped the site, and to explore the evolution of spiritual and architectural practices.
The church also hosts exhibitions of works of art, staged in the singular atmosphere of the desacralized building. The play of light, the volumes and the sobriety of materials create an ideal setting for both contemporary creations and antique pieces.
As you explore this space, you will find yourself in a place where heritage, memory and creation come together, inviting you to make a rich and subtle cultural discovery.
