Photographer’s Note

It is on the site of a cobblers shop, among others, that St Urbain's church was built. The cobbler had a son, Jacques Pantaléon, who from priest became pope, under the name of Urbain IV. Towards 1260, Urbain IV decided to build a church dedicated to St Urbain on the site of his birth house. Completed in 1389, it was restored during the 19th century to resemble to what we see today.
Its place which has just been redesigned makes it possible to admire its superb frontage. At night, its stained glass windows are illuminated together with its gargoyles and many spires.
