La Voie des Plantagenêts - Chemin de Compostelle

Anjou, the stronghold of the Plantagenets, is a very old pilgrimage route to Compostela.

Linking Mont Saint-Michel to Santiago de Compostela, the Plantagenets Way is part of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela, classified as "Europe's leading cultural route", and crosses the Anjou region from north-west to south-east over a distance of 200 km.
The current route, recognised in 2004 between Pouancé and Le Puy-Notre-Dame, provides a link between Mont Saint-Michel and the Tours route (at Saint-Pierre d'Aulnay church). The Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela offers a host of different settings: the Misengrain valley, the Mayenne valley, Angers, a city of art and history on the banks of the Maine, Brissac and its castle, the highest in France, the troglodyte plains around Doué-la-Fontaine, the charming village of Le Puy-Notre-Dame with its collegiate church overlooking the vineyards...
