🪧 **Stèle de Compostelle near Lemestroff – Stopover on the Way of St. James**
This **Stèle on the Way of St. James** near **Lemestroff** (municipality of Bouzonville) is a powerful symbol of the **pilgrimage tradition in Lorraine**. With its carved **scallop shell** and various coats of arms, it commemorates the region's centuries-old connection to the Way to **Santiago de Compostela**.
📍 The stele marks a stage of the pilgrimage route, which leads through rolling fields and quiet paths. Many pilgrims leave small stones or personal tokens in the niches – as an expression of inner contemplation or hope.
