Chemin de Saint-Jacques-Compostelle par la Chapelle Saint-Jean-Baptiste de l’Hôpital

The "Variante de l'Hôpital", a historic section of the Soulac route, follows the route taken by the pilgrims of yesteryear in the Nord Médoc. Almost 1,000 years ago, thousands of pilgrims from northern Europe landed at Soulac-sur-Mer on their way to Compostela, Rome or Jerusalem. After their devotions at Sainte-Véronique, they would head for the Hôpital de la Grayanès, where the Hospitallers of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem had founded a major commandery (the Order's 4th in France).
The chapel of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de L'Hôpital is the last witness to this.
