Create an itinerary including Church of Les Jacobins

Housed in an entirely brick building built in the 13th century, Church of Les Jacobins has a massive, even austere exterior that contrasts with its extraordinarily light-filled interior. Inside the palm, 22 ribs support the choir of this Southern Gothic church. The cloister, sanctuary, chapter house, and chapel contain original relics of St. Thomas Aquinas, in all their restored glory. The cloister hosts cultural events such as festivals and concerts, and you’ll find temporary exhibitions in the former convent refectory.

The chapel features beautiful stained windows, each of which is different and unique. The garden inside the basilica is beautiful. There is a temporary photography exhibition when I visit. It’s free for students so I wouldn’t complain anything about it.

Impressive Jacobin church with serene atmosphere. Free to enter, with boards around providing information in French, English and Spanish. The stain glass windows look great. You can pay €5 to go into the cloister area, which includes beach chairs to sit on. Well worth a visit to the church, even if you don't go into the cloister.

Absolutely loved this place. The sun was shining through the stained glass and looked amazing. The palm vaulting is fascinating. Worth paying to go into the cloisters. We were lucky because a pianist was practising for a recital and the music really enhanced our visit.

Fantastic gothic convent building, and a nice shop. Very little to view inside except for some screens, reproduction of the times or maybe a AR experience would improve the experience of visiting.

Fantastic bit of architecture, we were there when the sun was shining through the stained glass and it looked incredible. The entrance is free unless you want to go to the cloister which is 4 Euro. The relics of Thomas Aquinas were on display and its a great place to see.
