In the year 990, the English Bishop Segeric of Canterbury made a pilgrimage to Rome to receive the honors of an archbishop from the Pope. Today, the Via Francigena follows in his footsteps, which is described in this book. Starting from Lausanne, the book takes you on a journey through a charming mix of various landscapes, including the mountainous regions of the Alps, the fertile Aosta Valley, and the hills of Tuscany. The author provides a detailed route description for the over 1,130 km long trail, highlights points of interest, and offers tips for dining and accommodation. Maps and elevation profiles facilitate navigation, while information on topics such as travel arrangements and pilgrimage signs assist in planning the trip. This book is the official pilgrim guide of the European Association of Francigena Ways (EAVF) and the Swiss Association Via Francigena (ASVF).
