All quiet please!
How about hitting the
pause button?
The
spiritual tour is an open invitation to an
original moment of meditation, to discover the life and work of
Father Cestac, founder of the
Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
On your own, or guided by the
Sisters of Notre-Dame du Refuge, you will discover the
Chapel, a splendid, unadorned building dating from the end of the 19th century, along with the
modern stalls of Jean Boutin, the
stained glass window of Abbot Cestac and the
Museum of Louis Edouard Cestac.
Follow the little path opposite the Chapel which will take you to the
Bernadines Convent and its surprising
cemetery with
sand tombs surmounted by
scalloped-shaped crosses. Visit the two
chapels: that of the
19th centuryand the
primitive chapel in straw.
If you listen, you may hear the prayers murmured here by an
emperor and an
empress praying for a child.
