This majestic church is now the largest Franciscan church in the Southwest
Just like its neighbour - the Saint-Alain cathedral - the Saint-François church inspires respect. Majestic, it is today the largest Franciscan church in the South West. The present building has a 13th century polygonal choir, a 14th century apse, a 15th century nave and a Way of the Cross designed around 1880. The interior decoration of the 19th century was mostly done by Toulouse artists: vault paintings by Gayral, stained glass windows by Bordieu (1852-1853) and Gesta (1888), terracotta by Virebent, and a large organ by Théodore Puget (1866).

Une deuxième belle église gothique à Lavaur, avec la cathédrale. Elle est imbriquée dans les maisons autour, c'est un peu dommage. Des restes d'un cloître persistent sur un côté. Intérieurement, elle est couverte de peintures du 19e siècle qui l'assombrissent notablement.

Ne pas manquer dans la première chapelle latérale du côté, la fresque audacieuse et moderne signée d'un peintre nommé LONGIN ( vers 1930)
