Avignon Hotel Monclar

Dear guests,

Cathedrale d’Images honours one of the greatest painters of history: Vincent Van Gogh.

The famous limestone quarry of Beaux de Provence was opened to public in 1977 by Albert Plécy but Anne Plécy, his wife, took over his work when he passed away suddenly in the same year. She ran the Cathedrale d’Image until 2001. Since then, Timothée Polad, his grandson, is perpetuating the vision of this unique setting.

During more than 30 years, thousands of visitors have come to see an ever-changing show and to feel the almost-religious peacefulness of the cool galleries tinged by colourful frescoes. Thus we can recall some memories such as the projecting group of Jacques Yves Cousteau in 1978, Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel in 1996 or recently, in 2006, one honour to Paul Cézanne.

The exposition of Van Gogh takes place from 27th February 2008 to 4th January 2009 from 10 to 18 o’clock without interruption.

Avignon Hotel Monclar thanks to the site of Cathedrale d’Image for these precious informations.
