The twenty-third stage of the Way of St James. This stage crosses the territories of five municipalities in the Aveyron. The landscape is mostly rural and natural, occasionally passing through woods and copses. The route is also dotted with several heritage sites of interest, such as the village of Estaing with its bridge and its towering castle, before reaching the Golinhac plateau, which offers mid-mountain landscapes

Do you want to commune with nature, admire its beauty at the slow pace of walking, walk to get to know yourself better, get back to basics, push yourself: set off on an adventure along the Camino de Santiago. That’s what I’m offering you with this route. I set off from my village in the Jura (the first six stages are not part of the signposted routes of the Camino de Santiago) to reach Santiago de Compostela in Spain, but there’s nothing stopping you from setting off from your own home to join the route at any stage, starting from Le Puy-en-Velay or any other town along the way.

Moderate
Departure from Estaing (Aveyron)
This is a stage of the Way of St James starting from the pretty village of Estaing. I recommend visiting this magnificent village and its castle. You can also enjoy a drink by the Lot river. A plaque in memory of President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing can be found at the entrance to the village. This stage is moderately difficult with a lot of road and some elevation gain, so bring something to drink and protection from the sun.
