With the patronage of "John the Baptist," this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: 'In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!'" (Lutheran Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself would give birth to Jesus Christ, and her—until then childless—relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of Saint John the Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24.

Drinking water point in private garden.

Nice shady rest area in the forest and on the Camino about 5 km before Navarrenx.

Arriving on Sevelade! Some pleasant mountain bike trails, crossing a small stream several times, once on an old bridge, the other thanks to a large board!

Nice path between the wheat fields! Accessible in gravel and mtb. We can see in the distance. mountains !

Due to the connection to the Way of St. James, a good infrastructure for hiking.

Sauvelade Abbey was founded by Benedictines in 1127 and later taken over by the Cistercian order. In 1385 there were 17 households there. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauvelade The monastery church is very simple, which can be attributed to the Cistercians. The Cistercians wanted to live exclusively from the work of their own hands. There was nothing left for magnificent stucco work and expensive architecture. This abbey was ravaged by the fearsome troops of Montgommery. However, the Cistercians were finally driven out in the French Revolution.
