  Une église assez sobre, au charme discret

  Très mignonne petite chapelle historique de quartier, une perle bien cachée mais qui vaut le coup d'être visitée. Superbes vitraux et sculptures, très intimiste.

  This little parish church houses stained-glass windows by the French polymath Jean Cocteau. Done mostly in shades of purple and red, the windows are a perfect expression of 20th century avant-garde's pantheism and post-colonialism: They're not particularly Christian, despite being executed in the sine qua non of religious art medium and housed in a tiny side-street church. African warrior women and fantastic horses, roses and Pacific-island totem poles are jumbled together with Christian symbols. Way, way better than the famed Chagall windows in the Metz Cathedral... Definitely worth the 15 minute walk from centre-ville.
