    A church like no other

    This little church nested in a Chartreuse valley has been nicely decorated by a local artist by the name of Arcabas. And the result is really stunning. Do miss it if you visit the Grande Chartreuse Correrie. Facing the church, across the street, notice the...More

    Fantastic contemporary sacred art in one little church. Beautiful drive. Eats next door.

    This unassuming church has spawned the Art of Arcabas. Individual works span 30+ years starting when he was 25. Even if you weren't into religious art these plentiful images would get you engaged. Great colour, abstraction of form but enough to keep you knowing. Aka...More

    Interesting stop

    Our landlord recommended this church for a quick visit. As the name suggests, it's full of sacred art - paintings, sculpture, stained glass. We were warmly welcomed. There's a commentary in French. It's a light and airy space and well worth a 20 minute stopover.
