Cycle the second section of the Way of St James in France from the Lot to the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The pilgrimage route to Santiago has been travelled for over 1000 years by foot, donkey and more recently by bike. Offering an incredible diversity of scenery and passing through some of the prettiest villages in France, this is an epic cycling route with a spiritual theme. This journey, along the Via Podensis, the French Way of St James, takes pilgrims from Cahors to the pretty town of Saint-Jean-pied-de-Port, passing a multitude of churches and monasteries, resembling a travelling museum of Romanesque art.
