French Camino Tours

The French Camino or Camino Francés is the best known Camino route. Named a UNESCO World Heritage site for its rich heritage and cultural value, the French route starts at St. Jean pied de Port in the Pyrenees and covers 790Km until arriving in Santiago.

Most people walk much shorter sections of the route.The most popular section is the last 100Km (63 miles) from Sarria to Santiago, which is the minimum required to obtain the Compostela certificate of completion. Others choose to start in León, 100 miles away from Santiago, a city famous for its impressive Cathedral similar to Notre Dame in Paris. Pamplona with its famous San Fermín running of the bulls festival, Logroño with its renowned Rioja wines and Burgos are other cities that are well worth a visit when on route.

We have divided the route into separate tours that cover the most popular sections below, which can of course be combined and personalized for you. Both self-guided and guided-tours are shown below, so that you can select what works best.
