Saint-Esprit

Paul Tournon built the Saint-Esprit between 1928 and 1932, and its interior was decorated between 1932 and 1934; its domes recall Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Some forty artists worked on the decoration, in painting, mosaic, sculpture, stained glass and ironwork, among them Maurice Denis, who began the cycle in the apse, George Desvallières, who painted the Stations of the Cross, Untersteller and Sarrabezolles. In the photograph of 2023, the dome and its ring of windows open above the nave.
