👍👍 In awe of its magnificent baroque façade of three parts with the statue of Madonna and Child above the door, even before I went inside! This of course the very first Baroque Church built in Bordeaux, completed in 1620! What's really intriguing is how the inside completely different from the outside.... People often mention church, Bordeaux, beautiful, mass,

    In awe of its magnificent baroque façade of three parts with the statue of Madonna and Child above the door, even before I went inside! This of course the very first Baroque Church built in Bordeaux, completed in 1620! What's really intriguing is how the inside completely different from the outside. It's more of a "barrel" form with exquisite frescoes ornamented ceiling and a main altar with Corinthian columns supporting a stunning circular pediment. A registered national monument and a treasure for any visitors. I absolutely admire this Baroque Church.

    A beautiful church with a magnificent choir. These painted walls are surprising... Other parts to visit with a guide on certain days.

    The Saint Bruno Church was that of the monastic complex of the Chartreuse. It is the only baroque church in Bordeaux. It was completed in 1620. Its facade, inspired by Roman churches, is a sensation, but it is nothing compared to the trompe l'oeil frescoes which cover the entire ceiling of the church. They date from the end of the 18th century, from 1770-1771 and are spectacular and masterful. With the stalls, they contribute to the theatricality of the whole. Two statues are attributed to Bernini and there is a painting by Philippe de Champaigne. Good visit.

    Very beautiful church. I recommend it for its beauty but above all for its mass. The mass is packed. So full that the church chapel broadcasts the mass live for those who cannot sit down. Very beautiful songs, good priests.

    One of the most beautiful churches in Bordeaux, with remarkable works within its walls: Saint-Bruno by Guy François, Assumption by Philippe de Champaigne, Annunciation by Pietro Bernini (perhaps helped by his son Bernini)

    Easy location to park car behind the church. Amazing parish dedicated to FSSP. Mass was simple and easy to follow. Young crowd of parishioners and families. Beautiful cemetery in front.

    (Translated by Google) On Monday morning we go (a small group of 8 people) to this church with the intention of admiring two Bernini sculptures (father and son). Unfortunately we find the locked door, two ladies tell us it is closing day. A little disappointed we are approaching the tram stop, when a priest calls our attention, and very kindly opens the doors of this little church to us !! The pious women have warned him !! With a broken Italian (but understandable) he also acts as a tour guide, extremely willing to respond even to our events. Thank you very much, we are leaving from Bordeaux with the last scheduled visit ended in the best way. (Original) Lunedì mattina ci rechiamo (un piccolo gruppo di 8 persone) presso questa Chiesa con l'intenzione di ammirare due sculture dei Bernini (padre e figlio). Purtroppo troviamo il portone serrato, due signore ci dicono che è giorno di chiusura. Un po' delusi ci avviamo verso la fermata del tram, quando ecco che un prete richiama la nostra attenzione, e gentilissimo ci apre le porte di questa piccola Chiesa!! Le pie donne l'hanno avvisato!! Con un italiano stentato (ma comprensibile)ci fa anche da guida turistica, disponibilissimo a rispondere anche alle nostre domAnde. Grazie mille, ce ne andiamo da Bordeaux con l'ultima visita programmata conclusa nel migliore dei modi.
