Description
The French Way is the Camino de Santiago route with the greatest historical tradition and the most internationally recognized. Its layout through the north of the Iberian Peninsula was precisely established around 1135 in the Codex Calixtinus, a fundamental book of the Jacobean heritage.
This guide, attributed to the French cleric Aymeric Picaud, demonstrates the political-religious desire to promote the Compostela sanctuary and facilitate access to it, but also demonstrates the existence of a demand for this type of information. When this book is made, the pilgrimages reach their maximum apogee and the French Way the greatest influx – if we exclude the current moment – Santiago becomes the destination of pilgrims from all over the Christian world.
