About the location

Cour de la Chapelle La Providence / La Guerche-de-Bretagne
10 rue du Grand Mail, 35130 La Guerche-de-Bretagne
  • Ille-et-Vilaine
  • Bretagne
"All schools must be enclosed by walls, away from the street, in a peaceful place, away from any annoying or unhealthy neighborhood. The high wall that surrounds it cuts the child from the urban environment [...] ” It is in this model described by the memorandum of the code of hygiene of schools, defined by the Third Republic, that Providence rose in 1851\. With its elegant silhouette overlooking the stone wall of the Grand Mail, La Providence Chapel stands as a familiar presence on the way to school and faces the famous market every Tuesday. Acquired in 2017, the city has begun serious renovation and beautification works and the place is intended for cultural activities and their dissemination for the greatest number.
