Saint-Rémy Church

This stained glass window represents two key figures of French Catholicism: Saint-François-de-Sales on the left and Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal on the right.

This stained glass window depicts two key figures of French Catholicism: Saint Francis de Sales on the left and Saint Joan of Chantal on the right. These two saints are identified by the inscriptions in their halos. Saint Francis de Sales, on the left, dressed in the purple cassock of bishops, is depicted with a white surplice edged with gilding, holding a book bearing a golden cross and a quill in the other hand. Saint Joan of Chantal, on the right, depicted in a gray religious habit, holds a burning heart. The stained glass window is structured around semicircular arches, supported by fluted columns in the neo-Gothic style. The blue background decoration with regular geometric patterns gives depth to the scene. The upper part is decorated with a floral bouquet in a ceremonial cup.
