"The Way" is about a father and son (Emilio and Martin Sheen) who hike the pilgrimage trail from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrimage route is well marked. From Paris, starting at la Tour St. Jacques, follow la Rue St. Jacques (marked with scallop shells) south and you'll arrive in Santiago in a month or two. <br />My book club just read "En Avant, Route!"; the author describes her 3 pilgrimages to Santiago. . Her last trip left directly from her house in the Loire Valley, because as she explains, the true start of Le Chemin is from wherever you live.

I had no...Yes, I spied the tree face, too! Clever.<br />I had no idea about markings of trees in France to identify trails. Are there markers that you've seen in other parts of France?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-7264444139800361722012-09-08T21:23:26.081+02:002012-09-08T21:23:26.081+02:00Wouldn't being on the right or wrong trail be ...Wouldn't being on the right or wrong trail be determined by where you're going?Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-70132993929237787122012-09-08T14:44:55.001+02:002012-09-08T14:44:55.001+02:00Does the trail have a name?
