Jacques Tessier, priest & torero
"On my first pass, I ascended to heaven.
"Father Jacques Tessier poses at Mas de Bellombre, owned by Sophie and Pierre Marie Meynadier
There are military chaplains or prison chaplains, but also there is an arena chaplain.
Jacques Teissier is the priest of the arenas of Nîmes and manages the famous chapel of the arenas which welcomes most of the bullfighters before their fight.
He was thus the privileged witness of almost 30 years of férias.
But he is not only a man of the Church: he is also a modest "práctico" bullfighter who still puts himself in front of young bulls at the height of his 75 years.
