A little history

The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is not a simple hike. It requires preparation to ensure that pilgrims live the experience to the full.

A place of encounters, of discovery of nature and of others, of personal enrichment and solidarity, the path makes the pilgrim humble and grateful.

The pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela played an essential role in religious and cultural exchanges and development during the late Middle Ages, as is admirably illustrated by the carefully selected monuments along the pilgrim routes in France.

The pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela is an exceptional testimony to the power and influence of the Christian faith across all social classes and countries of Europe in the Middle Ages.
