📖

Full description

Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur stands on a narrow street in the old town, its modest exterior hiding a lavish Baroque interior. Visitors describe an intimate space decorated with frescoes, cherubs, and statues, and many discovered it by chance while wandering the lanes.

It offers a calm break from the busy streets and takes only about 15 minutes to see. Doors close for lunch, so aim for the morning or mid-afternoon.

It pairs naturally with other churches nearby for a short Baroque heritage circuit through the old town.

Stumbled across this beautiful church while trying to find a supermarket. It's aptly located in Jesus's Street. Don't let's It's rather plain doors and humble exterior fool you. Once you walk inside the decorations are quite beautiful. There was only one person present while we were in there. A lovely Catholic…
