The Breton Way of St. James in 21 daily stages! Soon after the discovery of the tomb of St. James in the 9th century in Celtic Galicia, pilgrims from the Celtic British Isles and Celtic Brittany began their journey to the apostle's grave. Churches and chapels dedicated to St. James, St. James wells, hospices, place names, and settlements of the Knights Templar and Hospitallers bear vivid witness to this important pilgrimage route. Austrian pilgrimage pioneer Peter Lindenthal has spent several years reconstructing the path of pilgrims from the northern coast of Brittany through the St. James hospice in Nantes to Poitiers, the city of St. Hilary. Like the Austrian guides by P. Lindenthal, it includes maps, precise route descriptions, photos, cultural-historical notes, and accommodation options.
