Description
Just 5 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Valenciennes, treat yourself to a soak in the silence of the Carmel de Saint-Saulve chapel. Hidden behind an ever-open gate, this haven of peace is revealed through a garden, where the chapel is presented as a sculpture. Once inside, let yourself be carried away by a silent reverie. The zenithal lighting, filtered through the twelve stained-glass windows in the ceiling, diffuses pure light in shades of jasper, chalcedony, hyacinth and sapphire.
