The French Path is the Jacobean itinerary with the greatest historical tradition (the main roads of El Camino were first referenced around 1135 in the Codex Calixtinus, a quintessential Jacobean book).

Its layout through the north of the Iberian Peninsula was finished at the end of the eleventh century. It’s a road that starts in France, crosses the Pyrenees and crosses the Iberian Peninsula from east to west, accessing Galicia through the legendary climb to O Cebreiro.

Since the discovery of the tomb of the apostle James, many people have been moved by the piety and decided to travel to Santiago de Compostela to visit the holy remains. It is a tour of great artistic and scenic wealth that welcomes pilgrims from up to 150 different countries.

Declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO and considered Europe’s main street, in 1987 it was named the first European cultural itinerary thanks to its environmental grandeur and samples of the best European Romanesque and Gothic art.
