Résumé
The « chapelle de France » at Lavelanet : a set of paintings under the Vichy government The church of Lavelanet, in the Ariège department, keeps two huge paintings executed in 1942-1943 by Reynold Arnould (1919-1980), constituting the « chapelle de France ». One of them shows the Virgin Mary with French women saints and the other, the homage paid to a dead soldier by the heroes of French History, among them the Maréchal Pétain. The unusualness of this perfectly preserved set of paintings led to their classification among the Monuments historiques in 1998.
