The places of concerts
CONCERTS PLACES AND RELIGIOUS HERITAGES IN LA GRAVE AND VILLAR D’ARENE
Three beautiful edifices, part of the religious heritage in La Grave’s canton, and a beautiful village square will welcome in 2008, the 11th Messiaen Festival for its concerts in the Pays de la Meije.
La Grave : Notre-Dame de l’Assomption’s Church
Head of the canton, La Grave has a parish group listed historical monument since 1959. Notre-Dame de l’Assomption, called “Sancta Maria de arenas inferioribus” in the past, is at the top of the village. The monument was restored in the 14th then in the 19th century and has kept from the medieval times a beautiful vaulted apse built in a hemispherical shape with narrow windows. This Roman’s apse gives exceptional acoustics which attracts artists for prestigious recording and allows our partner, France Musique, to broadcast with the best sound quality.
Le Chazelet : Sainte Croix’s Church
The Chazelet’s village is one of the four hamlets, called the Traverses. It has two big mountain pastures : the Emparis Plateau and the small valley of La Buffe. The actual church is from 1865. The first edifice is from 1611 and was dedicated to Sainte Croix. In 2002, the church was beautifully restored. Its acoustics are particularly clear and natural.
