A delightful walk through
the volcanic highlands of the
Haute‑Loire region in south
central France to the Pyrenees
Traverse the centuries of time and the borders of Europe on the
medieval pilgrim trail of Compostela. In the 9th century, the tomb of
the apostle St James was unearthed in Compostela. The site became
the focus of a pilgrim trail beginning in France, and crossing northern
Spain to Santiago de Compostela. This journey, along the Via Podensis,
the French Way of St James, takes pilgrims from Le Puy en Velay to
the Pyrenees at St Jean Pied de Port, through the beautiful Sierras of
Navarre and Aragon. The route passes a multitude of churches and
monasteries, resembling a travelling museum of Romanesque art.
Seven stages of this historic trail are shown on the adjacent page.
