An interesting creation by a renowned architect. It certainly represents Corbusier's contribution to the brutalism style. Strangely, once inside, it can be hard to find the steps to the chapel, which are hidden behind a big door on the first floor. Once in there it certainly has a presence. The constellation on the wall makes an impression, as does the 11sec echo. However, it's certainly not beautiful and whilst striking I'm not sure if I actually like it. Apparently regular services are held, where you enter by the ramp and not the ground floor entrance. Probably one of the ugliest churches on record. France should comdemn this and make it not a blight Fantastic by Le Corbusier, though he never got to see it finished. Captures all the essential elements of Corbu's late style featuring expressive yet sculptural use of concrete, as well as a masterful play of light and colour. Fantastic world of Le Corbusier, enter in the Nef the morning of a sunny day, and you'll see strange projection of sun light rays on the monumental walls. No words. On top of that, employees are so kind there, simply amazing. Last but not least, Charlotte Perriand exhibition was also very nice even if much smaller than the one presented at Louis Vuitton i Paris. Really recommend both of them ... A very good place to discover one of the most important figures of contemporany arquitecture. It's near Firminy railway station: you only need to go ten minutes! twenty-first century temple! Absolutely incredible place. Was here and performed with the choir Allmänna Sången during FestyVocal 2023. The acoustics of the were breathtaking!Absolute must try experience for any choir/singer that gets the possibility. The FestyVocal volunteers were amazing and very welcoming! We had a blast and are very thankful that we were invited to sing in this amazing church. It was quite cold (~+10 degrees Celcius) in the when we were here (October) because of the construction (non insulated concrete) of the church. Might be worth keeping in mind when visiting.
