Diocese of Angers participates in European Heritage Days

Diocese of Angers sites participated in the European Heritage Days held on September 19 and 20. The event allowed the public to visit various monuments across the Maine-et-Loire territory, including the La Pouëze chapel in Haut-Anjou. Built around 1472 at the request of Louis XI, the listed chapel contains architectural and artistic features such as vaults, a portal, an altar, and a statue of Saint Emerance.

Other available activities included climbing the church of the Sacred Heart in Cholet to view its carillon and visiting the "La Vendée chemilloise" exhibition at Saint-Pierre Church in Chemillé. Additionally, the association SOS Calvaires opened its doors at Le Lion d’Angers on Saturday, September 19. During this visit, Bishop Delmas blessed a cross that the association created for the Pope's vigil at the Stade de France on September 25.
