Le Chemin vers Saint-Jacques de Compostelle GR®65, voie du Puy (du Sauvage à Conques)

For centuries, the pilgrims of Saint Jacques cross this territory from east to west to get to Compostela. This large plateau, sometimes wooded, sometimes desert, is iconic of the pilgrimage and the Via Podiensis (GR65) which leaves Puy-en-Velay to reach Santiago de Compostela.
