Notre Dame de toute grâce.



    The church of Notre-Dame de Toute Grâce du Plateau d'Assy (Our Lady Full of Grace ) is a Roman Catholic church built on the plateau d'Assy between 1937 and 1946, in a aera dedicated to sanatoriums and healing institutions built in ethe 20's and 30's to cure tubercolusis and other diseases before antibiotics spread. It faces Mont Blanc. The church is unique for its decoration, designed by some of the best-known artists of the twentieth century. It is also viewed as an important step  in the development of modern sacred art, although its consecration in 1950 raised some consternation within the french clergy....
 The facade is decorated by mosaïcs made after a drawing of famous painter Fernand Léger.
