The Church of Saint Jacques

The Church of Saint Jacques in Béziers

Time past it was a "Monastery" Church - used as an overnight stopping place for Pilgrims on the "Route de Compostela"

The Chemin d'Arles / Via Tolosana takes it's names from the principal towns and shrines along the way. La Voie du Sud / Camino Romieu is also the route followed by pilgrims (known as Romieux) heading from Rome. This route is little known and may be joined by leaving the Voie d'Arles at Montpellier towards Narbonne via Saint-Thibéry and Béziers (Via Domitia).
