The Church of St. Joseph was built between 1951 and 1957, and, as Michelin says, is typical of Auguste Perret's style. Sober and reinforced concrete. The interior is "monumental and impressive." Two stars, even. TripAdvisor gives it a certificate of excellence and 4 and a half
things. No comparison with Gaudi's Familia Sangria, IMHO, but still of interest. At least it's finished and definitely in accord with the Master's wishes. Vicki says the interior is awesome.
