Saint-Jacques de Compostelle - De Cluny à Tramayes

The Route de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, a famous Christian pilgrimage, offers hikers the opportunity to discover the beauty and diversity of the French countryside. One of the most picturesque routes starts in Cluny and heads towards Tramayes along the Chemin des Crêtes.

Your adventure begins in the charming town of Cluny, famous for its Benedictine abbey, once one of the most powerful in the medieval West. Take time to visit this majestic abbey and soak up its history and spirituality before setting off. As you leave Cluny, follow the signposts of the Chemin de Saint-Jacques, recognizable by their scallop shell symbol.

The path soon takes you through the rolling countryside typical of southern Burgundy. The trail winds along the ridges, offering breathtaking views and soothing calm.

Along the way, you'll pass through picturesque villages like Jalogny, where you can take a break and perhaps meet other pilgrims.

The climbs can be a little strenuous at times, but every effort is amply rewarded by the natural beauty that surrounds you.

The arrival at Tramayes marks the end of this beautiful hike. This small village, nestled in the hills, is a perfect place to rest and recharge your batteries.
