There are still a few churches that the boys and I haven't seen, at least from the inside. Last week we went inside Couvenant des Jacobins. Built in the 13th and 14th centuries, they comprise a church, cloister, and refectory, which is now an exhibition room. The most impressive part is inside the church. Long and narrow, there are seven columns that are vaulted and resemble palm trees. Along the walls are a series of tall, narrow stained glass windows.
The cloister was pleasing as all cloisters are, however it seemed a bit neglected and didn't have any gardens to speak of. The church has a bell tower which is 45m high. It is very similar to the bell tower of Eglise Saint Sernin.
