Tarot desk in the chapel of Avenieres
The walls, completely covered with mosaic, present the desk of the Tarot of Marseille. The style is revisited, modern, even kitsch.
If each card remains faithful to the traditional tarot, the differences jump to the eyes. The characters are clothing with the ancient Persan or Egyptian way. The bottom of each card gives symbolics elements : at the left corner the number of the card is indicated, from 0 to 21. In the right corner an hebraic letter is drawn. In the lower medium of the card one geometric pattern is enclosed, generally representing a planetary or chemical symbol.
Discover some broad sights of this blue chapel. The unity of style and the richness of the symbols impress. We will further see in detail each card in our visit.

The cards are presented in disorder, except the card I, the Juggler, which accomodates us as of the door of crossed entry. We are naturally taken to the following, card 13, the card “without name”, not to pronounce the word taboo “death”.
