In this case, if you dare, you will need many days, approximately one month, to cover the 31 stages that make it up. On this French Way from Saint Jean Pied de Port you will pass through representative places such as Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Burgos or Le\u00f3n, until you reach your final destination: the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sarria<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In <b>Viajeros Canallas<\/b> we organise in 5 <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viajeroscanallas.es\/en\/stages-french-path-from-sarria\/\">stages of the French Way from Sarria,<\/a><\/b> one of the most popular places to start the Camino.
