On the Way of Saint James
Le Puy-en-Velay, an iconic starting point
Since the Middle Ages, Le Puy-en-Velay has been one of the great starting points on the road to Santiago de Compostela. Many pilgrims follow the Via Podiensis, whose route begins at the foot of the cathedral. Hôtel Bristol is a comfortable stopover before you set off, with rooms suited to hikers and practical services to help you prepare your departure.
