Cartographie des chemins de Saint-Jacques

"Cartographie des chemins de Saint-Jacques" refers to mapping the pilgrimage routes leading to the shrine of Saint James (Saint-Jacques) in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. This project involves creating detailed digital or physical maps of the various traditional routes pilgrims take, including trails, towns, and landmarks. Such cartography helps travelers navigate, understand the historical and cultural significance of each path, and plan their journey more effectively. It combines historical data, geographic information systems (GIS), and modern technology to preserve and promote these ancient pilgrimage routes.
