Along the walk it is possible to meet fellow travellers whose memory will accompany us for the rest of our lives. Or else we might meet ourselves. The book is presented as a practical guide for those who wish to undertake what has been one of the busiest pilgrimages from the Middle Ages up to the present day. Following the traditional "French Way", on foot or by bicycle, this guide will accompany the traveller from both the practical and spiritual point of view. Pocket-sized and easy to consult, it allows step-by-step route planning in both directions: it contains all the practical tips needed to make the most of this unforgettable experience. Each stage is accompanied by a detailed map, technical indications, a description of the sites and historic and artistic details about the different areas the Way passes through.
