The name of the highlight and the accompanying photo don't seem to fit together, as the image shows "Monument aux Mortes," like those erected in many places to commemorate the victims of war. However, I can't find the odometer to Compostela, as suggested in the name, in the photo.

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.

The beautiful, large church, restored in the early 1990s, was built in the mid-16th century. It once served as a Protestant temple until it regained its Catholic vocation in the first half of the 17th century.
