Description
Discovering Fléchois stained glass
The stained glass windows in Saint-Thomas church, most of which were created in the 19th century, include one exception: the one dedicated to Jérôme Leroyer de la Dauversière, created by Michel Ducreux, painter and master glassworker. Michel Ducreux, who restored all the stained glass windows, will talk about his work. The church of Sainte-Colombe, rebuilt in the 19th century, has a number of stained glass windows from this period. But the most remarkable are those in the choir, created after the Second World War and depicting the deportation to the camps.
