GR®765 EAST Santiago de Compostela
From Lyon (Rhone) to Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire)
|
|
The GR®765 EAST represents an iconic route of the path leading to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, covering a distance rich in history and picturesque landscapes, from the dynamic metropolis of Lyon to the historic city of Puy-en-Velay in Haute-Loire. This trail, which traverses the departments of Rhône, Loire, and Haute-Loire, offers hikers a unique experience that blends heritage, nature, and spirituality. Lyon, with its old town, is famous for its Renaissance architecture. As they leave the city, hikers head towards the foothills of the Lyonnais mountains, where they discover charming villages such as Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise, which retain a medieval atmosphere. Continuing along the path, pilgrims pass through historic places of worship, chapels, and churches, reflecting the enduring significance of faith throughout the centuries. Upon their arrival in Puy-en-Velay, pilgrims can visit the Notre-Dame du Puy Cathedral. This sanctuary, built between the 11th and 12th centuries, serves as a convergence point for pilgrims on their way to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle.
