Chapelle des Élus, 18th century chapel in Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, Dijon, France
The Chapelle des Élus features white walls adorned with delicate religious sculptures by Claude Saint-Pere and a marble altar designed by Servandoni.
Built between 1738 and 1739 during Louis XV's reign, the chapel underwent modifications by royal architect Jacques Gabriel from Pierre le Mousseux's initial plans.
The chapel displays Jean Jouvenet's painting 'The Deposition from the Cross' above its main altar, representing French religious art from the period.
Visitors can access the chapel through the Dijon Tourism Office at 11 rue des Forges, which provides guided tours in multiple languages.
The chapel's door woodwork, completed in 1743 by Jacques Verberckt, shares craftsmanship with decorative elements found in the Palace of Versailles.
