Contents
The French name for this GR route is the Chemin de Saint-Jacques and the Spanish name is the Camino de Santiago, because the GR 65 is an important variant route of the old Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, one of several variants of the Way of St. James. In English it is sometimes called The Le Puy Route or by its Latin name Via Podiensis, including its subtrails GR651 and GR652.
The GR 65 is part of the system of European long-distance paths known as E3.
The route starts in Geneva, Switzerland, and continues through France to La Côte-Saint-André (Isère), Le Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire), Nasbinals (Lozère), Conques (Aveyron), Figeac (Lot), Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne), and Aire-sur-l'Adour (Landes), to Roncevalles, Spain.
