Pilgrimage with Simon Reeve

POVZETEK

Simon investigates ancient routes and shrines across Europe that are still being used, trying to find out whether modern pilgrims are motivated by religious devotion or a sense of adventure. In the French town of St Omer, he finds piles of shoes left on the tomb of a 7th-century saint with notes pleading for children to be cured of their walking difficulties. Simon also visits the Way of St James, a 500-mile route that starts in the French town of St Jean-Pied-du-Port, crosses the Pyrenees, winds through northern Spain and finishes in the holy city of Santiago de Compostela.
