The church of Vaulx-Milieu, labeled « Patrimoine en Isère » (Isère Heritage), opened its doors on September 19th and 20th for the Heritage Days. The Sainte Magdeleine association organized this annual discovery event, which introduces a new theme each year, following previous editions focused on statues, stained glass, furniture, and cult objects.
This year's event attracted around 115 people over the two days. Visitors had the opportunity to closely examine the liturgical clothing and linens, appreciating their embroidery and fringes. A fun questionnaire was provided to encourage a different way of exploring the building, inviting both children and adults to search for details such as barefoot statues, count the bell tower's clocks, identify unfinished painted motifs, or find items originating from the old church.
The members of the Sainte Madeleine association, who organized the event, warmly thanked the visitors. Their curiosity and questions gave full meaning to the church's opening. An invitation is already extended for next year, with the announcement of a new theme.
