Some of the changes you might notice is a completely redesigned visitor route, new liturgical furniture (baptistery, altar, ambo, tabernacle, cathedra) designed in bronze by the fonderie d’art Barthélémy Art in the Drôme, and sacred vases finished in gold by l’Atelier d’orfèvrerie Marischael. We can’t forget about the 1,500 new chairs made of solid oak from Sologne either.
