Brief overview of the visit
Mater Admirabilis
To bring the Virgin Mary into the convent was the wish of the young “novice” Pauline Perdreau. In the middle of the 19th century, she painted the “Mater Admirabilis” fresco in one of the corridors of the convent, where the sisters of the Sacred Heart lived at that time.
Astrolabe
On the first floor of the cloister, far from the crowds, there is a little-known scientific marvel: a solar clock that extends along the entire corridor. A small mirror on the window reflects the sunlight, creating a luminous sphere that moves on the wall throughout the day.
Anamorphic frescoes
In the other corridors, the Minimes painted two anamorphoses on the walls : frescoes which, thanks to a stunning optical effect, change their appearance depending on where you stand.
