Sacré-Coeur Chapel of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception

This chapel is considered one of the most well-executed architectural works of the 19th century. Its craftsman Léon Léger having no advanced studies in architecture, had nonetheless a great sense of proportions and a flair for fine decorations. The altars' decorations are all hand-sculpted. This chapel is an architectural gem.
