The Agora and its stained-glass window signed by Gabriel Loire
24 genuine stained-glass window, on the theme of the trip, raises even more the beauty of the chapel and are signed by the French glass-maker master Gabriel Loire (1904-1996), whose « creations shine throughout the world with prestigious commands », such as those of the cathedral of Salisbury, England, the tower of birds at the Modern Art Museum of Hakoné, Japan… and as well as those of the Agora of the Haut-Carré.
The building architecture is inspired by the cistercian monasteries. The bell tower recalls roman belfries from the North of Italy (such as the Pisa Tower) or campaniles pierced with arcades.
