Description
The church of the Benedictine abbey of St. James was founded in 1015. This church built in the flamboyant Gothic style was reconstructed between 1514 and 1538. The interior decoration is luxuriant, with sculptures by Del Cour (end 17th century), an organ case (1600) and remarkable stained glass windows. It also contains an exceptional vault with over 150 keystones in the central nave. Definitely one of the finest buildings in the country.
