CHURCH OF THE DOMINICANS

***OPEN ONLY DURING EXHIBITIONS***
The Dominican church is a sublime historic site that hosts a variety of events.

The Dominicans established themselves in Saint-Jacques in 1240 in a perimeter quarter outside the first city walls. The large Gothic church with its timber-framed roof, one of the two cloisters and the chapter house have survived fairly well, despite devastating fires and a long occupation by the army before the French Revolution.
Paradoxically, the military occupation saved this remarkable complex, the only one of the four convents of the mendicant orders to have survived. The church, now owned by the town, was restored in the 1980s.
The site is only open for exhibitions.

Open for exhibitions only.
