According to biblical accounts, the apostle "Saint-Jacques" was the first person to be executed for his faith, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, making him an early martyr (blood witness) of Christianity. His tomb in the town named after him, "Santiago de Compostela" (Galicia, Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world, often ranked third after Jerusalem and Rome. Today, the day this article is being written, is his feast day in the calendar of saints. When this date falls on a Sunday, the Catholic Church celebrates a special "Holy Year" there.

If you pass through Saint-Privat-d'Allier, a detour to the hamlet of Rochegude is essential to admire its tower, its chapel and the magnificent views of the Allier gorges. It is necessary to get off your bike to access the chapel.
