• Workshop of illumination and calligraphy Guided exhibition of illuminated paschal candles. Presentation of the work of illumination and calligraphy (workshop work, tools, pigments, parchment, history and technique...) • Works by Mother Geneviève Gallois The Mother Museum Geneviève Gallois is currently under renovation, 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 mn). A painter, draughtsman, engraver and master glassmaker, Mère Geneviève Gallois (1888-1962) is a multifaceted artist, extraordinarily talented. She joined the Benedictines in Paris in 1917 and composed a vast work, often mixing text with images, making the most modest moments of everyday life shine through, constantly oscillating between gravity, humour and deep jubilation. A fascinating spiritual and artistic itinerary. • Visit of the fresco of the crypt of the monastery: Exceptionally, the crypt of the monastery will be open to the public to allow to visit the fresco realized in November 2022 by the sisters, according to the traditional technique a fresco, under the direction of Atelier Saint Jean Damascène.
