UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the Camino

Several routes lead to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Walkers can follow the Via Turonensis (from Tours), the Via Tolosana (from Arles), or the Via Podiensis (from Le Puy-en-Velay), the best-known route across France.

Along the Via Podiensis alone, 71 monuments and 7 sections of the trail are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a reflection of the extraordinary heritage along this route.

Among them are the Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy and the pilgrims' bridge over the Dourdou at Conques, the Pont Valentré and the cathedral at Cahors, the Hôtel-Dieu and the Notre-Dame Cathedral at Le Puy-en-Velay, and many more.
