There are pilgrimage routes all across Europe heading for the shrine of St James at Compostela. The one I have chosen to follow starts at Vézelay, where you have to make an immediate choice – northerly or southerly route? I chose to go north via Bourges. Beginning in May 2023 I walked for ten days, and then for another six in October. I have got as far as Limoges. The whole route across France is about 900 kms. And then there is all the north of Spain to do!
