The Via Tolosana, also known as the Toulouse route, is one of the four main French routes of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This route connects the city of Arles to the Franco-Spanish border. The path mainly follows the old Roman roads and medieval paths, thus offering pilgrims the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of their ancestors. Pilgrims who take this route pass through important cities such as Toulouse and Saint-Gilles, where they can admire many sites and historical monuments. The path of the Via Tolosana is dotted with important stages. Pilgrims can start their journey in Arles, where they can visit Saint-Trophime Cathedral and the ancient theater. They can then go to Toulouse, a historic city famous for its Capitol Square and Saint-Sernin Basilica. Via Tolosana is a beautiful route for pilgrims seeking to live a peaceful and intimate experience while discovering the history and culture of France.
