Dive back into the world of reconstruction in the 1920s. Only the choir survived the 1917 bombing. The rest of the church has been rebuilt according to the canons of Art Deco: amazing wall frescoes (geometric motifs and Stations of the Cross), stained glass windows, mosaics... The visit is free and documents are available to the public

Outside the choir of the fourteenth century, the whole church was destroyed in 1917 because of its position on the Hindenburg line. Rebuilt in the 1920s, it amazes with its double appearance: concrete on the outside and frescoes and coloured mosaics on the inside
