Chapelle Emilie de Rodat
The surprising chapel of Sainte Emilie de Rodat.
Unexpectedly modern, the chapel houses Sainte Emilie de Rodat, canonized in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, and is surrounded by works by some of the world's greatest contemporary artists: Philippe Kaeppelin, who designed the tympanum, altar and high reliefs, Jacques Bringuier for the fresco in the crypt, Gabriel Loire's singular stained-glass windows! Denys Puech for the sculpted group! Look up and see for yourself!
First stone laid on April 14, 1951.
