    The Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur church , also known as the Gesù church , is a Baroque-style Catholic church built in the 17th century  by the Jesuits as a chapel for their college.

    I guess I just couldn't believe that I stumbled upon it!!! The 2 churches we wanted to visit (Notre-Dame du Port and Eglise St. Rita) were closed.... do was this one but it opened the door while we were lunching - and being clearly across the street, that was that.

    This is Apostle St. James the Elder, known to some of us as SANTIAGO!!! 😁

    Try as I may I couldn't find any scallops 🥲
