The Roman Road, good physical condition, elevation gain +200, pleasant path with not too much rutted terrain, magnificent scenery, and guaranteed tranquility. This path, also known as the Via Podiensis or Chemin du Puy, is one of the main pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela in France:

*Start and Finish**: From Tours to Le Puy-en-Velay, in central France, and ends in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, near the Spanish border. From there, pilgrims can continue to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

*Historical**: This route partly follows the ancient Roman roads, hence its name. It is one of the four major French routes leading to Santiago de Compostela, along with the Via Turonensis, the Via Lemovicensis, and the Via Tolosana.

*Heritage and Landscapes**: The route crosses varied landscapes, including valleys and plains. It passes several historical and cultural sites, such as churches, abbeys, and medieval villages.

**Symbolism**: As with the other Camino de Santiago routes, the Via Podiensis is marked by scallop shells and yellow arrows that guide pilgrims. These symbols are important landmarks for travelers.

**Spiritual and Cultural Experience**: For many pilgrims, walking this route is an enriching spiritual and cultural experience.
