Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Grâce Church, visit with digital tablet

Founded by Canon Devémy and built by Maurice Novarina, it is the key to the renewal of sacred art in the 20th century. (Listed as Historical Monuments, labeled 20th Century Heritage)
The church of Assy is that of the sanatorium established on the site between 1926 and 1937.
The architecture, entrusted to Maurice Novarina, is inspired by sturdy Savoyard chalets.
Advised by his friend, Dominican Father Marie-Alain Couturier, who believed that "every true artist is inspired," Canon Devémy "bets on genius" and invites the greatest modern artists for the decoration, regardless of their religious beliefs or political ideology.
This is what is called "THE LESSON OF ASSY."
Among the artists who contributed to its decoration: Bazaine, Bonnard, Braque, Chagall, Couturier, Kijno, Léger, Lipchitz, Lurçat, Mary, Matisse, Richier, Rouault, Signori, Strawinsky.

Rates: Full price: €4 (Book also available for €3).

Digital tablets are available for rent at the Plateau d'Assy postal agency, 1118 Avenue du Dr Jacques Arnaud (5 minutes on foot from the church). An ID will be required as a deposit.
