Free access in the 2nd chapel on the left when entering. - La flèche Saint-Michel: discover the exhibition “Un chantier à coeurs ouverts. Femmes et hommes au chevet de la Flèche”.
«As in cinema, it is the adventure and the how that counts, until the end». Immerse yourself in the «film» behind the scenes of this exceptional project and much further, through the testimony and the journey of some of the people who currently care for it. It was a time when it was much treated how – technical interventions – and the outcome of the construction of the Saint-Michel spire: restore the monument to preserve and transmit this heritage. This time, the exhibition weaves another thread of the story: that of the human adventure behind the palisade. The exhibition is visible on the palisades of the construction site of the arrow, opposite the entrance to the Basilica of Saint-Michel. - The stonemasons of the construction site of the arrow invite you to discover their profession, tools and know-how. An initiation workshop to stone cutting with the Companions of Saint-Jacques will be offered on Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 6pm.
