This monumental fresco painted in the colors of the rainbow follows the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, but not only! Above all, it magnifies its relationship to nature, to the animal world in particular.
Through the Christian spiritual message, the porcelain painter Roch Popelier offers a formidable plea for brotherhood between man and the whole living, a poetic form of ecology that superbly depicts the animals and trees of the Limousin around an Italian saint.
The mediators of the Museum Cécile Sabourdy propose to discover the secrets of the chapel of the Chauveix through guided tours on two afternoons.
The plus: a game «search and find» in free access to have fun to look in more details (hedgehog, cat, wild boar, cauldron, tools, butterfly, etc.).
