Description
Admire the frescoes and sculptures in the three chapels open to the public, thanks to the booklet available to visitors and the exhibition tracing the history of the building.
The Tourist Office is housed in the northern chapels of the former church of the Cordeliers convent, consecrated in 1447. The nave, which was destroyed at the beginning of the 20th century following a fire a few years earlier, was replaced by Place Dosse.
These Gothic-style chapels have preserved magnificent 15th and 16th century frescoes by Italian painters - they were rediscovered and restored between 1969 and 1970.
