GR®765 Santiago de CompostelaFrom Cluny (Saone-et-Loire) to Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire) |
|
Hiking on the GR®765 towards Saint-Jacques de Compostelle is a millennia-old pilgrimage through the varied landscapes of Saône-et-Loire, Rhône, Loire, and Haute-Loire. From Cluny to Puy-en-Velay, this route allows hikers to discover not only the natural beauty of the region but also its rich historical and cultural heritage. Cluny, a city steeped in history, is home to an abbey founded in the 9th century. This significant site of monasticism has had a considerable influence on Christianity and religious architecture in Europe. As they continue along the path, hikers traverse picturesque villages such as Sainte-Cécile and Tramayes, which showcase medieval architecture. Romanesque churches, chapels, and historical remnants abound, particularly in Charlieu, where the abbey and cloister are must-see attractions. Walking the GR®765 also means entering a spiritual dimension. Hikers often find refuge in churches and chapels, such as those in Saint-Haon-le-Châtel or Aiguilhe, where they can reflect and meditate.
