Via Podiensis - Walking Through France
In April 2024, two South African long-distance walkers went to
France, where they completed the 750 km Via Podiensis, an ancient
pilgrimage route from the town of Le Puy-en-Veley to Saint-Jean-
Pied-de-Port, the starting point of the Camino de Santiago. Their
experience changed their perceptions about France. Along the way,
they made new pilgrim friends, experienced first-class hospitality and
support, and gained new respect for French culinary traditions.
They walked through breathtaking landscapes and postcard-worthy
villages but also braved muddy paths, torrential rain, and inclement
weather. The story of their 39-day journey is an inspiration for anyone
planning to walk the Via Podiensis.
