Chapel of the XIIIth century, nicknamed chapel of apple trees with the fresco presenting apple trees of the Japanese Kyoji Tabuko who renovated it.

It owes its nickname of "chapel of the apple trees" to the fresco by Japanese artist Kyoji Tabuko, representing, it is given to you in a thousand, apple trees! This encounter with Japan saved the chapel from ruin. Built in the 13th century, rebuilt in the 15th, it was abandoned and closed to the public in 1983. In 1987, our Japanese artist, seduced by the beauty of the place, decided to renovate it, giving free rein to his inspiration. The result is astonishing and does not leave one indifferent.

Agression dès l'entrée : une demande de paiement pour la visite indiquée nulle part et sur un ton tout à fait déplacé. En plus cette chapelle n'a vraiment rien de révolutionnaire. A éviter.

Une œuvre d'art grandeur nature. Merci à Kyoji Takubo pour cette superbe réalisation qui vaut largement que l'on se perde sur les petites routes normandes. L'artiste a su conserver le caractère originel de cette chapelle du 13ème siècle tout en lui offrant une seconde vie avec un décor de pommiers bien du pays traités à la manière japonaise, avec une technique très particulière. Ne manquez pas cette visite originale, c'est magnifique.

Magnifique lieux. C'est vraiment à voir.
Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de communication sur ce lieux, je l'ai trouvé par hasard.
