Couvent des Jacobins

This is one of the more beautiful sites that we visited in Bath - the stained glass windows are lovely! It was free to visit the church itself with only a 5 Euro charge each to visit the adjacent cloister. Both are recommended and can be toured in about an hour.

An absolute gem of a building. Lots of very interesting information placed around the building in French, English and Spanish. It’s a privilege to be able go around a building with such historic roots. It’s very peaceful and calming. We spent 2 hours there. Highly recommend. There are also toilets available and the venue is wheelchair friendly.

A wonderful place, full of history and the serenity of faith. The church was amazing with its paintings and palm tree columns, and, once through the ticket office the cloisters and o the chapels and spaces are fascinating.

The couvent amazed me with its main church: a row of giant columns supports the vault and divides the space into two parts. Otherwise, the monastery has a traditional structure with an internal garden with arcades.

I go often just to sit and meditate. The most beautiful red stained glass window to the left of the entrance. St Thomas Aquinas remains are here.

Built in the 13th century the building has great architecture. A small token fee is charged for entry. Inside there is a garden with a path around it. There are display boards describing how the residents lived and what all activities they perform. Many cultural activities are organised within the building. Visit the website for more information. A shop is there selling souveniors.

If you only go to one place in Toulouse, this is they one!!! The ceilings are amazing!! So much history here. We visited the museum as well. The Bibles in there were well worth the admission fee. Several were from the 13th century. Again, this is a must see.

The Couvent des Jacobins in Toulouse is a remarkable example of southern Gothic architecture that captivates visitors with its beauty and historical significance. This imposing building, with its intricate design and stunning stained glass windows, offers a serene atmosphere that invites exploration. Upon entering, the light-filled interior surprises with its elegant lines and the impressive height of the vaults, reaching up to 28 meters. The unique palm tree columns are a fascinating architectural feature, adding to the charm of the space. The cloister is equally enchanting, providing a peaceful retreat where visitors can relax and soak in the ambiance. Sun loungers under the arcades create a perfect spot to unwind while enjoying the surroundings.
