Taken while wandering in Cornwall last year. Just never knew what was around the next bend in the road. Just had to pay attention and follow our curiosity.

If you click on the link below it will hopefully take you to a google map of my very rough plan. There are 3 other pilgrimages that pass through France on their way to Santiago.
This route roughly follows the "Tours" route and sticks closer to the coast than the others. This one is not as traditional and I'm not sure I will be able to find sections of it as it has not been as widely traveled as la Via de Le Puy.
This is all part of the adventure. I'm not sure there are the guide books for the Via Frances like there are for the more popular Camino de Santiago across northern Spain. Apparently, according to one website one can see markings along this route but they are not so obvious. I don't think pilgrims 1,000 years ago really knew where they were going either. That was the point, to trust God and one's own intuition to solve the mystery and figure it out along the way.
That was the role of faith. As it will be for me.
