The chapel of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, is used as a church by the parish of Blonville-sur-Mer. It offers the creative example of a construction where modern techniques and materials are combined with the inspiration of medieval cathedral builders. The painter Jean-Denis Maillart and Canon Duvieu who guided him, were the artisans. These frescoes painted on the cement of the walls between 1960 and 1962 are inspired by the same spirit. The continuity of the Old and New Testaments is affirmed in the choir of the sanctuary, by the series of patriarchs and prophets on one side and the other, that of the twelve apostles. The mediatrix between the two is the Virgin Mary: the six large panels of the nave show us the main stages of her life, from the Annunciation to the Assumption.
