Église des Stes

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:51:23

This 12th- to 15th-century church, with its dark, hushed, candle-wax-scented atmosphere, draws legions of pilgrim Roma to venerate the statue of Sara, their revered patron saint, during the Pèlerinage des Gitans. The relics of Sara and those of Marie-Salomé and Marie-Jacobé, all found in the crypt by King René in 1448, are enshrined in a wooden chest, stashed in the stone wall above the choir. Don't miss the panorama from the rooftop terrace (€2.50).
