Take the road to Compostela
For centuries, pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, major place of pilgrimage, have taken the Via Podiensis (GR65). Our territory has numerous accommodations intended for pilgrims.
Beyond the green valley of the Lot, the Quercy region is the Tarn-et-Garonne’s front door to Santiago… The way to Compostela is the invisible link connecting Lauzerte, Moissac and Auvillar: thousands of pilgrims are setting foot on this territory made of hills and plains, where the rivers Tarn and Garonne join each other and meet the Canal des Deux Mers (Canal of the Two Seas).
Set off to discover this land of plenty where charming villages, markets and local gastronomy are great opportunities to come and spend a weekend or more…
Get ready for the Via Podiensis
- Prepare your physical condition
- Adapt your equipment
- Pick good shoes
- Take a rain outfit
- Take a survival blanket
- Take a sleeping bag liner
- Take a reusable water bottle
- Do not overload your backpack
Please note: bivouac is not allowed in some villages, and there are not many places to shelter in case of a level 2 alert for severe thunderstorms. It’s best to allow a minimum budget for safe accommodation. When you arrive at your stopping-off point, it’s best to check the weather forecast.
