Eglise Saint-Bruno

Description

It owes its name to the founder of the Carthusian Order, St Bruno, whose convent stood in the district from the 17th century to the French Revolution.

Designed by Trojan architect Michel Marot, it is built in brick, concrete and reinforced glass with flamed tiles.

Given the small size of the site, the building is compact, with meeting rooms upstairs and a presbytery.
The building is modelled on traditional Champagne barns, with overhangs above the side entrances, and has been dubbed "le hangar" by local residents.

The interior comprises a vast room whose walls, cut into panels and arranged at an angle, direct light towards the choir, which is literally flooded with it.

A number of works of art embellish the interior:
A contemporary baptistery in brass, partially gilded with gold leaf to catch the sun's rays, created by a sculptor and metalworker.
A "futaine", a woollen-cotton painting reminiscent of South American handicrafts, created by local residents.
Behind the altar, a hanging depicting the creation of the world, which can be seen on the other side of the chapel.
