Compostelle The Camino Frances

This book is for whom? Not for children - too complicated - neither for adults, too childish. But perhaps for adults who managed to keep their child spirit and particularly those who travelled the Camino.

When Peter and I decided to walk the Compostela Way, we were not in any way sure to be able to make it. We were told that as true Parisians we would not be able to cope with the many privations, lack of comfort and tiredness we would encounter.

But taking up the challenge, we decided to make the journey.

We had both been around the world, yet never have we loved so much a journey as our walk to COMPOSTELA

We had formidable encounters with 'perigrines' coming from different lands, yet despite having shared many joyful and merry dinners we noticed how evasive most were about their deep motivation to go on the pilgrinage.

In 1987, UNESCO, voted the Camino 'The First European Cultural Itinerary'
