Tillac - Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur

"Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur", the parish church dating back to the 15th century, was connected to the pilgrimage to Santiago, as the "Via Tolosana" once crossed Tillac. To commemorate that, artist Bernard Moari created this statue of "Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur", inspired by Master Mateo´s statue, which is part of the "Portico da Gloria" in Santiago de Compostela.

We were so lucky to meet Bernard in Marciac. He immediately left the construction site, where he was working, and showed us around. Merci beaucoup, Bernard! À bientôt!
