👍👍 Un musée spectaculaire de part l’œuvre d’Arcabas (peinture, sculpture, …) mais aussi l’église en elle même, nichée entre les montagnes. Le musée est vraiment à voir, il n’est pas nécessaire d’être amateur d’art pour admirer ces œuvres. Les offices réalisés dans cette église doivent être splendides !...
