The interior of the church is partly covered by paintings by the painter Lyons Jean Fusaro. The choir of the church and the baptismal font are covered by his paintings on the theme of St Jacques de Compostela (Saint-Jacques-des-Arrêts being a step on the road to Compostela), the martyred Lyonnais saints and a way of the cross. Beautiful and to see absolutely even if one is not exactly spiritual nor amateur of painting.
