Chapel with frescoes inspired by biblical scenes and Japanese culture

Touched by the beauty of the Saint-Remi basilica, Foujita had a mystical illumination. He converted to Catholicism and after his baptism in 1959 built a neo-Romanesque chapel. With the participation of his godfather René Lalou, director of the House of Mumm, the Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix chapel was built in 1965. After having designed the plans and drawn the stained glass windows, the Japanese artist, then 80 years old, started to work on the interior decoration. His frescoes, inspired by biblical scenes and Japanese culture, cover nearly 200m2.

Nous avons profité de la gratuité des musées de Reims le 1er dimanche de chaque mois pour visiter cette petite pépite. Magnifique décoré et peint par Léonard Foujita, le travail est remarquable. Un petit bout de Japon en France

C'est une très belle chapelle bien qu'elle se visite assez rapidement, vous découvrirez forcément des choses que ce soit sur le franco-japonais Léonard Foujita ou le bâtiment. C'est une visite à faire si vous êtes à Reims.
