The Church of Notre Dame de la Paix

Dom Paul Bellot combines innovative construction techniques with careful attention to decoration. To enliven the interior of the building, he uses a variety of arch shapes (parabolic, pointed, mitered, corbelled) and materials.

Glazed sandstone bricks, glass blocks, porcelain stoneware paving, and wall paintings using Stic-B, a material that was very fashionable during the 1930’s, bring a wide variety of colors at a lower cost.
