71 churches, abbeys, bridges and hospices along the four French pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela, plus seven sections of the trail itself. Within the guide's area these include Saint-Sernin in Toulouse, the cathedrals of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, Saint-Lizier and Oloron, the Porte Saint-Jacques in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and the abbeys of Moissac, Conques and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert.

Visit: Walk a day stage on the GR 65 or GR 653 – the scallop shell shows the way. Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is the starting point for most people walking the Camino Francés over the Pyrenees.
