LEGENDE COCO CHANEL / ABBAYE / PATRIMOINE / ILLUSTRATION Aubazine, France, dec 10th 2024. Coco Chanel. The fashion designer spent some of her childhood in a Cistercian monastery where she drew several sources of inspiration for her creations (patterns in the stained glass windows, on the floor, etc.). Today, the abbey, which is in a pitiful state, will begin work thanks to funding of 9 million euros from the Chanel Foundation, which brings its prestigious clients to the depths of Corrèze in the footsteps of Coco.
