Chapelle Emilie de Rodat

30 rue du Sergent-Bories, 12200 Villefranche-de-Rouergue

The surprising chapel of Sainte Emilie in Rodat.

Unexpected and modern, the chapel is home to Saint Emilie de Rodat, canonised in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, and is surrounded by works by several great contemporary artists: Philippe Kaeppelin, who created the tympanum, the altar and the high reliefs; Jacques Bringuier for the fresco in the crypt, the stained-glass windows by Gabriel Loire – truly unique! – and Denys Puech for the sculptural group! Look up and take a look! The foundation stone was laid on 14 April 1951. Visits to the chamber of Saint Emilie are by booking only on +33 (0)5 65 65 15 50.
