The Way of St James, or the Camino de Santiago de Compostela is a series of pilgrimage routes running across all of Europe with Santiago de Compostela in north west Spain as their final destination. People have been walking it – as a pilgrimage route – for over a thousand years.
In France the most frequented Way is The Via Podensis which is The Way starting from Le Puy en Velay and ending in Saint Jean Pied de Port. The Way crosses very renown places as Le Puy, the Aubrac plateau, Conques and Cahors, up to Saint Jean Pied de Port, the famous meeting point of all European Ways.
The picturesque landscape of the White Quercy invites you on the crest footpath and to discover the Bastides. A few km later while getting close to the Tarn Valley and Moissac appreciate the lush orchard of Gascogne the craddle of D Artagnan, one of the famous Three Musketeers characters by Alexandre Dumas . This land is punctuated with castles and medieval chapels and is proud of its renown gastronomy ! ( Ici & Là Nature )

If possible, could you tell me the name/symbolism/meaning of the man on the chair fixed to the wall please, as I heard of this many years ago but could not find a reference to it, thanks 🙂

Hi
I think you mean the iron sign board on the wall with “enluminures” under. Enluminures means “illuminations” medieval illuminations that you can find in medieval books as illustrations or capital letters at the beginning of the page. Thank you for your interest. Cécile

I love your photography, I love looking at the architecture of other countries, and its evolution from the past to the present. the saying is true looking at your work, “If only walls could talk” & a photograph is worth a thousand words” I also love that you photograph the plantings on the stone structures! Boldness softened by nature!
