Discover the Saint James Way: Your Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela with La Pèlerine


Walk the legendary Camino de Santiago - the most popular pilgrimage route in Spain and Europe, with more than 420 million pilgrims each year. At La Pèlerine, we specialise in creating bespoke walking tours for pilgrims who wish to explore the historic routes leading from Notre-Dame Cathedral in Le Puy en Velay (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) to the final destination of their pilgrimage: Santiago de Compostela (some 994.19 miles away). Whether you prefer the French Way, the Portuguese Way or the breathtaking Northern Camino, each route promises unforgettable days of spiritual and historical exploration on Saint James Way.

Your Way, Your Journey


Start your pilgrimage on Saint James Way at iconic points such as the gates of Spain with Saint Jean Pied de Port on the French Camino (also known as the Camino Frances), the last French town on the route, or follow the northern route along the Spanish coast. From the medieval church of Sainte-Foy in Conques to the ancient villages of the Spanish countryside, every mile you walk brings you closer to the heart of Galicia, the land of Santiago. Finish your journey in the holy cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and experience what pilgrims have been doing since the 9th century. Whether you're walking alone, with friends or as part of a larger group of pilgrims, this is a time-honoured route that spans years of history.
