Description: Alison Raju. People have been walking the Way of St James as a pilgrim route for over 1000 years. Today's pilgrims are people of all ages and from all walks of life. While some walk simply to enjoy a beautiful long-distance footpath, others may have a religious motive or a personal, historical or cultural interest in the route. Guide covers the 740km French section of the route - from Le Puy-en-Velay in central France to the Pyrenees. Route follows the GR65 long distance path from Le Puy, and continues through southern and south western France to Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port and on to Roncesvalles in Spain. Clear and detailed route description illustrated with a series of sketch maps. Practical advice for the journey as well as background information on St James and pilgrim references on route. The Spanish section of the route is covered in the companion volume. The Way Of St James Vol 1. 186 Pages.
