Brioude - La Cigogne

Brioude - La Cigogne
In Brioude, today a town with a population of nearly 7000, St Julien, a Roman soldier who converted to Christianity, is said to have died a martyr's death in 304.

From the 6th century onwards, Brioude developed into an important place of pilgrimage. The Dukes of Aquitaine made the town their headquarters for a time. From the 11th to the 12th century, the pilgrimage to the tomb of St Julian flourished.
