Trinity Chapel

This guide to Trinity Chapel in Lyon opens with a question about what sport got played beneath its gilded ceiling for seven straight years. It traces the chapel back to its 1622 consecration by the future saint Francis de Sales and architect Étienne Martellange's baroque design, through its loss of religious status in 1920, when its organ was sold off to a village called Saint-Chef. Look up at the marble columns and trompe l'oeil frescoes, a ceiling built to lift the eye toward heaven.
