Heart of Romanesque art

Poitiers is undoubtedly one of the most representative cities of Romanesque art in the region and more widely in France. Surpassing all others, the church Notre-Dame-la-Grande is a masterpiece of religious art with its carved facade. During Summer and Christmas, it is adorned with lights for the Polychrome show. Thanks to these illuminations, the artists of Skertzò invite to rediscover its original facade.
