St. Majan chapel and Saint François chapel

Enter the small nave on the right, walk straight on and stop in front of the third chapel on your right, created in 1838 in the Cathedral, to honor Majan, the evangelizer of the Savès and the patron saint of Lombez. The entire carved decoration in brick comes from the Virebent Launaguet Company.
Above the altar, a painting from the nineteenth century shows the golden legend of Saint Majan would have felled a dragon that was terrorizing the land, throwing in his mouth his pastoral ring. This miracle would have happened on a hillside path overlooking Lombez where you can now see a chapel built in 1872 on the site of the tomb of Majan, who died in 610.
Continue to the next chapel dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi which we can see the statue in a niche above the altar. The white and gold paneling of the chapel comes from the former Capuchin monastery located outside the walls where you saw the building on the village tour.
They were put in the Cathedral after the destruction of the convent church. An inscription on the altar tells us that they were made by Henri Bertin, a sculptor in Samatan.
Head to the exit, go right past a statue of a reclining Christ in stone dated fifteenth century, which was part of a burial of seven people, destroyed in the eighteenth century.
In front of you in the main nave is the Chapel of St. John the Baptist.
Come near and turn on the light on the wall to your right.
The ground on both sides of the altar:
On the right, you can see the tombstone, the oldest preserved in the cathedral, Guillaume de Durfort de Duras, a bishop who died in 1378, represented lying with his head on a pillow, hands folded on the chest, miter on his head and the crosier resting on the left side.
We can read an inscription that runs all around the slab:
"Obiit GUILL de DUFORTIS EPIS.LUBAR. Requiescat in pace. "
On the left, you can see William of Maupéou’s tombstone, who died in 1751 and who for thirty years was one of the best administrators of city and diocese of Lombez.
The slab is black marble with his arms above a long epitaph.
You have just completed the tour of St. Mary's Cathedral, if you want; you can go to the tourist office for refreshments, right in front of you when you come out of the cathedral.
Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you soon!
