Description
This stone statue reveals Saint James, turned to the left, framed by wavy hair and a long beard. He wears a rolled up hat decorated with shells. He holds a four row pilgrim's bumble-bee and in his left hand a book.
It stands in the Chapel of Rieux, founded by Jean Tissandier, a Franciscan Bishop. It was built to the east of the large church in the Convent of the Cordeliers. The chapel ended up being the burial site of Jean Tissandier and his Friars but was destroyed at the beginning of the 19th Century. Apparently, the Bishop buried his friars there with his own hands.
