Couvent des Jacobins

This former Dominican monastery is a splendid example of southern Gothic style from the 13th century, and also houses the relics of St Thomas Aquinas. Look up to see the giant ribbed vault aptly nicknamed the palm tree. There’s also a tranquil cloister and a chapel filled with 14th-century art.
