Abbaye Notre-Dame-de-Fidélité

Guided exhibition of illuminated Paschal candles.

Presentation of the work of illumination and calligraphy (workshop work, tools, pigments, parchment, history and technique...)

The Mother Geneviève Gallois Museum is currently being renovated, but to allow you to discover this original artist, about twenty works will be presented to the public on the occasion of the Heritage Days.

In addition, a documentary on his life and work, Le génie et le voile, will be screened on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. (Duration: 54 minutes).
A painter, draughtsman, engraver and master glassmaker, Mère Geneviève Gallois (1888-1962) was an extraordinarily talented multi-faceted artist. She joined the Benedictines in Paris in 1917 and composed a vast work, often mixing the text with the image, radiating the most modest moments of daily life, constantly oscillating between gravity, humour and deep jubilation. A fascinating spiritual and artistic itinerary.
