As the sign clearly indicates, you are at a place called Le Cros, on a very small part of the Chemin de Saint-Jacques. You can take this path to reach Le Puy-en-Velay located further south. From this town begins the via Podiensis. The Puy route is with the Arles route, the Tours route and the Vézelay route, one of the four paths leading to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. From there begins the French way which crosses the Pyrenees to reach Santiago de Compostela.

Castle built on the volcanic rock and renovated during the Renaissance where George Sand used to go. Can be visited between October 1 and April 30. www.chateau-de-la-rochelambert.com

Church without columns, almost a mini Hagia Sophie, impressive from the 12th century.

Depending on the incidence of light, the colors of the church windows are reflected in the crystal chandeliers and create great color reflections.

The mighty castle complex (château) dominates the village of Saint-Vidal.

Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint George, to whom the church of Saint-Paulien is dedicated, but his veneration dates back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. On the other hand, the legend of Saint George slaying the dragon is well known and widespread. He is usually depicted – in paintings or as a statue – as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback. The memorial day of the very popular George - he is, among other things, the patron saint of the English kingdom - in the calendar of saints is on April 23rd.
