Stage Description
This stage enters the Tierra de Campos region, the heart of the Meseta. The route is flat and monotonous, a challenge for the pilgrim's mind. Arrival in Frómista is monumental compensation. Its church of San Martín, one of Europe's Romanesque jewels, is a must-see visit. It is a physically demanding day that is widely rewarded with an end loaded with art and history.
The stage from Saint-Jean-d'Angély to Saintes is a 25-kilometer journey that follows the course of the Boutonne River. The route starts at Saint-Jean-d'Angély (20 m) and follows a mostly flat profile, with a gentle descent towards Saintes (10 m). The route passes through a beautiful landscape, following in part the course of the river. It is an enjoyable walk that allows you to enjoy the scenery and the tranquility of the surroundings. Arrival at Saintes, a city with an impressive Roman and Romanesque heritage, is a monumental final stage. Its triumphal arch, amphitheater, and St. Eutrope Church, World Heritage Site, make it one of the most important stops on the route. It combines a gentle workout with a rich historical experience, a perfect balance in the Via Turonensis.
