The chapel Notre-Dame of Hope rises on the site of Brabois of the university regional hospital (CHRU) of Nancy. It was built in 1973 by Christmas Lemaresquier, thinks Maresquier, (1903-1982), architect of the whole site in the seventies. She(It) evokes the shape of a tent, new concept in the religious architecture of the XXth century, corresponding to a strong symbolism. Indoors, harmony and simplicity of materials and of volumes go together with a warm light brought at once by the drilling of the roofing and by the coloured glass paving stones.
