A major work by British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro, the Chœur de Lumière de Bourbourg.

The Choir of Light is a major work of British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro, designed especially for this church. The aim was to breathe new life into the Gothic choir of the church, which was partially destroyed during the Second World War. The different paintings retrace the origin of Man and Earth in a raw and uncluttered style. Inaugurated in October 2008, this work brings the chapel back to life. In total, the work includes a set of fifteen sculptures spread over the 450m2 of the floor, conceived as a base.

On n'aime ou pas mais ce mélange d'art contemporain et d'art plus classique est pour le moins singulier.
