Pixi in the Cloister: The Little Story of Saint Thérèse

Created by Pixi, a specialist in collectible figurines, this immersive exhibition retraces, through 21 miniature scenes, the life of Saint Thérèse and her family in the places where her missionary vocation unfolded.

"The Good Lord cannot inspire unrealizable desires, so despite my smallness I can aspire to holiness; to grow in stature is impossible, I must accept myself as I am with all my imperfections; but I want to seek the means to go to Heaven by a small, straight, short, and entirely new path."

Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Story of a Soul

To remain small in order to become a saint, that is the spiritual treasure of Saint Thérèse!

From Alençon to Lisieux, "Little Thérèse" remained, in joys as in trials, attentive to the signs of God.

Made with Pixi, a specialist in collectible figurines whose workshops are located in Normandy, this permanent exhibition retraces the little story of Saint Thérèse as you have never seen it before: discover how the little things of the ordinary can lead to an extraordinary destiny.

  • For an enhanced visitor experience, a guide describing the numbered scenes (1 to 21) is available in your language at the exhibition entrance. You can also follow the route on your smartphone using the QR code on site or the menu below.
