GR®700 Regordane trail - Saint-Gilles way
From Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire) to St Gilles (Gard)
The Régordane Way was used by merchants and pilgrims traveling between Velay, a region of the Massif Central, and the south of France, thus facilitating trade and cultural exchange. Pilgrims wishing to travel to Saint-Gilles to honor the saint also used this route. During the Middle Ages, the path grew considerably and became a well-established pilgrimage route. Numerous chapels, churches, and monasteries were built along the way to accommodate the pilgrims. These places of worship testify to the religious fervor of the time and the importance of the Régordane Way in medieval pilgrimages. Towns and villages developed along this route, such as Langogne, Villefort, and Saint-André-Capcèze, where infrastructure was put in place to welcome travelers. Inns and coaching inns flourished, offering lodging and meals.
