For hundreds of years, these tracks have been used by pilgrims and walkers. Following these footpaths which are steeped in history and visit so many different places, you will be captivated by both the variety and interest of the countryside you pass through. This long-distance walk may be the world’s oldest, following as it does the Roman road known as the “Via Agrippa” which linked Lyon and Toulouse.

Guide-books
The first three below are published by the French equivalent of the British Ramblers Federation: la Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre. They are called ‘topo guides’.

Otherwise the books listed are in French.
 
WEATHER
Telephone number for weather forecasts (in French) : 32 50
 
WHICH TIME OF YEAR IS BEST?
The normal period for doing this walking tour is from May to October. From mid-October to mid-April, weather conditions can be difficult, with fog or snow, especially when crossing the Margeride and the plateau of the Aubrac. The winter season from November to March and the midsummer period of July and August are best avoided. The best times of all are in late spring or early autumn: May-June and September-October.
 
LANDSCAPE AND VEGETATION
Limestone plateaus (the causses) cut into by deep little valleys, then hills made of a mixture of clayey and limy rocks until you reach the plain of the Garonne.
After Moissac there is a landscape of gentle hills and fertile valleys: (cultivation of maize, sunflowers, orchards and plum trees).
 
CLIMATE:
The land is low-lying and near the sea: the weather is usually mild in spring and autumn, but hot in the middle of the summer.
 
WHO WAS ST JAMES (St Jacques)?
A bit of history:
The Gospels tell us that St James was one of Christ’s twelve disciples. He was the son of Zebedee and Mary Salome. He was also the brother of Saint John and related to Christ himself through his mother. He was put to the sword – executed - by Herod.
The Church gives this Saint James the name of St James the Greater to distinguish him from another disciple, James the Lesser, who became head of the Jerusalem Church after the death of Christ.
Legend tells us that after Pentecost, Saint James travelled as a missionary to Spain. He disembarked in Andalusia on Spain’s Mediterranean coast and then journeyed to Galicia, in the far north-west corner of the Iberian Peninsula. After several years spreading the Gospel, he returned to Jerusalem where he was beheaded.
Two of his followers, Theodore and Athenasius, laid his body in a boat and took to sea. Propelled by wind and wave, the boat finally made landfall in a Galician estuary. It was here at this estuary that the ancient town of Iria Flavia was built: a town which now bears the name of El Padron.
James’ two followers buried the apostle’s body some way inland at the spot where, later, the town of Santiago de Compostela (Saint Jacques de Compostelle) was built.
For about eight centuries that was the end of the St James story, because it was not until the beginning of the 9th century that a hermit called Pelagius experienced some visions. These prompted him to contact Theodomir, the bishop of Iria Flavia. Then they discovered three tombs which they identified as those of St James and his two followers. On the ground where this discovery was made the kings of Galicia ordered a rustic church to be built.
Later a second and more magnificent church was built – which attracted the first pilgrims.
This second church, which had become raised to the status of a cathedral, was taken and destroyed by Moorish invaders. In its place was built the Romanesque cathedral which we admire to this day, though it is now embedded in the heart of the present-day cathedral which is built in a flamboyant gothic style. Saint James became the patron saint of Spain and the symbol of that country’s triumph over Islam.
In the 18th century, through fear of English invasions, the tombs of Saint James and his two followers were walled up in the cathedral crypt, and for the time being they were lost to view. It was not until the 19th century that the three tombs saw once more the light of day.
The pilgrimage of St James of Compostela is one of the three great Christian pilgrimages, together with those of Rome and Jerusalem. It owes its origin to the resistance against Muslim invaders. After the 9th century, Saint James became the patron saint of Spain and the symbol of that country’s conquest of Islam. The pilgrimage reaches its highest importance in the 12th and 13th centuries. This was also the time of the Romanesque renaissance. With the vigorous support of the Popes and of the Order of Cluny, the Catholic kingdoms of northern Europe and of various chivalric orders, the pilgrimage became a powerful means of communication. In
Medieval Europe it acted as a highway for people, ideas, cultures and technological advancement.
Following this high point, factors including the Hundred Years’ War between France and England, Protestantism, the emergence of absolute monarchies and the French Revolution have all progressively reduced the importance of the pilgrimage.
However, just before the end of the second millennium, and since then, there has been a revival of interest in the St James pilgrimage. The Way of Saint James in Spain was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. In 1998 also gave World Heritage status to 69 monuments marking the St James Way in France,
including seven sections of ancient pathway in Le Puy en Velay.
In Spain, the town of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia has itself become a World Heritage Site.
This pilgrimage is one of the most widely followed in western Europe. The scallop shell has become the emblem of those who made the journey: those thousands of people of all conditions who, by road and track,
trekked on foot to pay their homage to Saint James of Compostela.
CREDENCIAL etc
Credencial (la Crédentiale)
Following the tradition of pilgrimages to Compostela, this document is made available to those embarking on the journey, to bear witness to their spiritual determination. It acts as a kind of pilgrim’s passport, making it easier for pilgrims to approach other people, show respect to a host, and serves as a recommendation of the pilgrim towards anyone they may meet in the course of their pilgrimage. It doesn’t confer any special rights but it does allow access to Spanish gîtes on the pilgrim route. A stamp is required to show passage through each
section of the pilgrim’s way, put there by a priest, a town hall, the tourist office or someone offering accommodation to the pilgrim.
Customarily, this document has to be ordered from an organisation as close as possible to the pilgrim’s home.
In practice you can obtain the credencial by filling in an order form on the following website: www.cheminscompostelle.com and including a cheque for 8€ payable to the ACIR. This must be done at least ten days before your departure date.
 
TO ORDER
The credencial can also be ordered from the address below:
Association de Coopération Inter-Régionale "Les chemins de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle"
4, rue Clémence Isaure - FR-31000 TOULOUSE (métro Esquirol)
Tél. : +33(0)5 62 27 00 05 - Fax : +33(0)5 62 27 12 40
@mail : chemins.de.compostelle@wanadoo.fr
 
The Créantiale
This is a similar document, but available without charge. It can be obtained from a church after an interview, taking the form of a ‘fraternal dialogue’. It is a ‘sign of trusting and reciprocal welcome’. It is not necessary to be a Christian to obtain this document.
Approach a priest or contact the bishopric in your diocese. (They vary in their level of interest and information on this subject.)
A Créantiale is a document to confirm that a pilgrim is indeed a pilgrim. It confers an obligation on those who give out the document as well as on those who show it to their hosts along the Pilgrim’s Way. It signifies that the bearer belongs to the class of people who are pilgrims and it also is a sign of a trusting and reciprocal welcome between the pilgrim, Christian or not, and the Church. This is because the Créantiale must be handed back personally to the bearer, following an interview with a representative of the Catholic Church on the Christian meaning of the pilgrimage.
The associations of the friends of St James (associations des amis de St Jacques) have the right to issue the Créantiale.
 
The Compostella
The certificate of having completed the pilgrimage (the Compostella) is given out at Compostela itself, on presentation of a Créantiale which has been properly stamped at daily halts for all, or a large part, of St James’ Way.
It can be seen as a sort of diploma issued by the cathedral to those who have covered the last 100km of the Way on foot, or the last 200km by bicycle or on horseback.
