Why is this serene chapel named after an “Angel of Consolation”? We are standing before the Chapelle Ange-de-la-Consolation, a place of quiet reflection nestled within the Saint-Georges Cemetery. Built in 1902, the Chapelle Ange-de-la-Consolation serves as a solemn reminder of the cycle of life and death. While not a site of regular religious services, this chapel, open to all, offers a peaceful haven for mourners and visitors alike. Its serene atmosphere invites contemplation and offers solace to those seeking comfort among the resting places of generations past. The name “Angel of Consolation” speaks to the chapel’s role as a place of comfort and hope, a testament to the enduring human spirit in the face of loss.
