Le Camino

The Camino is a welcoming and informative place for pilgrims and walkers. It is a museum-tour themed around the Way of St. James. Last admission to the tour is half an hour before closing. Shop, café, and garden are available.

Follow the path of the stars and visualize the stages to Compostela. The Camino's scenography immerses you in the Way of St. James. From its origins in the Middle Ages to its modern form, all aspects of the "Camino" are presented.

A true invitation to experience, a welcoming place for walkers to find advice and meet others, it is also an essential part of the cultural life of Le Puy-en-Velay. The Camino's "café-garden," a convivial space open to all, and its garden offer a relaxing respite near the cathedral.

Temporary exhibitions.
> Tour in English and German using touch tablets.
> For children, a fun visit with a questionnaire adapted to their age.
