Guided tour of the Treasury of Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Angoulême staged by visual artist Jean-Michel OTHONIEL.

The staging of the Treasury of Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Angoulême is a must-see! It is, to date, in France the only Treasure scenographed by a contemporary artist, a world-famous visual artist: Jean-Michel OTHONIEL

Colored blown glass, the artist's favorite material which makes up most of his creations with magical and baroque accents, is at the heart of the Angoumois project. The stained glass windows in blue and gold tones diffuse a colored light which contributes to the dreamlike atmosphere of the place.
Each room of the Treasure corresponds to a theme: the Lapidary, the Commitment, the Marvelous.
