Église Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours

Mahé


Consecrated in 2009, this graceful church is simplicity itself and is all the better for it. Instead of stained-glass windows, the massive windows are slats that catch the sea breeze and lend the whole structure a lovely tropical Creole personality. Even if it's not open, it's worth stopping to admire the exterior.
