On the road to Saint Jacques de Compostelle
The "chemins de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle" are a modern invention . They meet the needs of our age:

• return to nature, development of walking as a sporting activity ...
• search for a deeper personal spirituality, flight from the consumer society, need for escape
• response to a turning-point in life (start in active life, bereavement, retirement ...)
• they have also become a European symbol

These are the realities of today, imposed on an imaginary medieval world constructed for the most part in the XIXth century and encouraged by the Church. The name via Podiensis comes from the last Book of the XIIth-century manuscript conserved in Compostela, the Codex Calixtinus, written, obviously, in Latin. This Book was translated into French in 1938. In the framework of modern tourism, it has been wrongly considered as a guide used by medieval pilgrims.

900 kilometers between Paris “La Tour Saint Jacques” and the Spanish border. One of your stop could be “Clos de Pontpierre” in Tavers. Close to Orleans which is one of the fourth road (via Turonensis) used by the pilgrims walking to Saint Jacques de Compostelle. Patricia and Pierre will give you a warm welcome and you can enjoy the place and the meal before going on your way.
