In a recent book by Genevieve Dubois 'Fulcanelli and
the alchemical revival' (originally in French as 'Fulcanelli devoile'),
she refers to a Chapel of the Tarot with mosaics
of the 22 Major arcana.
These were apparently constructed in the Chateau de
Avenieres at Cruseilles in France, by Assan Farid Dina, an
enthusiast for all things esoteric, who died in 1927.
These tarot mosaics do not seem to have survived,
and I cannot find any information about them from the
present Chateau de Avenieres, which is now an up-market
hotel.
Genevieve Dubois, includes a photograph of one of the
mosaics. You can see this here >

Does anyone have any information on this ?
