One of the great pilgrimage routes of Europe, the Via Francigena covers 1900km on its way from Canterbury to Rome. Relatively flat sections in northern France give way to the mountainous Jura and a strenuous passage over the Alps, via the Great St Bernard pass, all passing through historic villages and towns with interesting churches, cathedrals and religious monuments. This is the first published guide to a route destined to become as popular as the Way of St James and the Via de la Plata. Since becoming a European Cultural Itinerary in 1994, it is now partly waymarked and plentiful accommodation has sprung up along the way.
