Here goes what made me look into this photo. It was the religious statue. In Portugal it would be called Saint Anthony of Lisbon, also venerated as Saint Anthony of Padua. His day was celebrated yesterday (June 13th) in Portugal, particularly in Lisbon. Why Lisbon and Padua (Italy)? Because Fernando Martins de Bulhões, venerated as Anthony of Padua or Anthony of Lisbon, (1195 – 13 June 1231) is a Catholic saint who was born in Lisbon, Portugal to a wealthy family and who died in Padua, Italy.
In the statues Saint Anthony is always holding a little Jesus and a Bible as it is the case of the statue in your picture. You say it is Saint-Aurelien church but I do not know whether or not is Saint Anthony.
Anyway, it is a very good shot with excellent sharpness and beautiful colours.
