Ninth stage of the Way of St James. This stage allows you to continue your journey through the Isère countryside. Between small country roads and wooded paths, the route offers lovely open landscapes with the Massif Central and the Alps in the background. In terms of heritage, the Chapel of La Salette, Surieu Monastery and the crossing of the high-speed rail line between Paris, Lyon and Marseille mark the route.
