The Via Podiensis is the best known and the most frequented of the Ways of St. James. As such, this route is very well marked, with a substantial offer of accommodations along the way.

The route is exceptional. You’ll first cross the Velay and its volcanoes, the Margeride and the meadows of Aubrac for a succession of small mountain ranges and territories, each of which has its own identity. 

The route will then take you to Haut Quercy and its Causses, then its vineyards and orchards before discovering Moissac.

It's also an opportunity to discover cities full of historyle Puy en Velay with its cathedral and its virgin, Conques and its abbey or Cahors, Moissac and Lectoure.
