Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ pjɛʁ də kɔlɔ̃bje/; Occitan (post 1500);: Sant Pierre de Colombier) is a commune in the Ardèche department in southern France.
On Saturday, October 14, 2023, a skirmish between an ecological-minded group called Les Amis de la Bourges, translated to English as "The Friends of the Village," and a group of nuns developed on the construction site of what has been called a “mega-church.” A determined nun was videod tackling one of the protesters as he attempted to leave the site with some plastic pipe from the site. “Sister Without Mercy” and other humorous such headlines pervaded new outlets as the video was widely published, calling attention to the various ecological concerns of the protesters, including the impending destruction of habitat of several protected species.
