Mosaic culture
Art déco
Surprise yourself with the the art déco nuggets spread out in the city centre during a weekend in Saint-Brieuc. This art movement was born in the 10s, following the art nouveau style. Curved angles, bow-windows, portholes, wrought-iron craft, floral patterns, spirals... The city of Saint-Brieuc counts numerous buildings in the art déco style.
The art déco work of art of Saint-Brieuc is without question the Maison Saint-Yves chapel. It is a treasure trove of Odorico mosaics, a fresco paintings and Xavier de Langlais (Seiz Breur) murals. The lighting through the stained glass windows magnifies the whole decor.
