Quiet country roads, essentially the same travelled for centuries by the pilgrims of St. James and the hikers of today, will take you from Gothic churches to Roman monasteries, from rustic little towns to pretty villages. From the starting point in Puy-en-Velay, in Auvergne, to the final destination in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, in the Basque Country, the itinerary is a real delight in every respect. This includes the food, since the regions explored include Lot, Gers and Tarn-et-Garonne, famous for truffles, duck foie gras, Armagnac and Cahors wines. Whether in search of athletic challenge, pleasure or history, you will ultimately find your individual path.
