Reviews
Mr Fujita, known as a École de Paris’s painter was baptised at Cathédrale Notre Dame de Reims.
His artworks are unique, sophisticated and somewhat lovely. Quite interesting to see since its atmosphere is kind of religious and french-Japanese mixed, plus full of hope.
Although it is truly beautiful, one should check the time of opening before visiting👍 …
€5 to enter a tiny church is extortionate. With two employees sat there doing nothing
It includes a visit to another church that is out the way with no opening times on the internet
Beautiful chapel planned and painted by artist Foujita
A small chapel, with much wall art painted by a Japanese artist who converted to Catholicism
A few euros to get in, only really needs 15 minutes to take it all in .
I loved the exterior of the church, but unfortunately I did not get to see the interior because it was closed despite the fact that it said on the gate it was supposed to be open from 2 to 6. I went there at 2:15 and then later again at 4:30 but it was not open. I recommend that you plan other activities alongside this if you are planning on visiting because it probably will not be open.
It's truly beautiful..
Reims is a rather astounding place at times - there is an American connection, and there is a Japanese connection.
