Saint-Aulais-la-Chapelle - Saint-Jacques
19 Nov 2014 |

Saint-Aulais-la-Chapelle, a village with a population of not even 300, hosts three Romanesque churches! One of these is Saint-Jaques in the tiny Hamlet of Conzac. Erected within the 12th century as a Cluniac priory church when pilgrims took a break here on their way to Santiago de Compostella. They still had about 1000 kms to walk from here.
The priory and the church got severely damaged during the Wars of Religions. The church, once built on the blueprint of a Latin Cross, lost one arm of the transept, the facade and a large part of the nave. The nave got rebuilt, but now is shorter, that it was once. The Romanesque apse survived the times, so the corbels are still "in situ".
These two may be musicians as well (previous upload), but I doubt that. The left person does not play a saxophone, as that was invented by Belgian Adolphe Sax in the 19th century. Does he play a kind of flute? What is the stick like object, the right person has in his hand?
