The gothic choir of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church in Bourbourg is now open to visitors after being closed for 60 years!

As part of its restoration, the French Ministry of Culture and Communications (Fine Arts Commission - Nord-Pas de Calais regional department) initiated the state-commissioned "Chapel of Light" (Le chœur de lumière), entrusted to the sculptor Sir Anthony Caro.

The "Chapel of Light" is made up of 15 pieces, created for the restored gothic choir of the Saint-Jean Baptiste church in Bourbourg. An exceptional encounter with contemporary art, architecture, heritage and the sacred.

This offer is suggested by the tourist office***Gravelines et les Rives de l'Aa
