After having crossed the green Beaujolais, Le Cergne is the starting point of the road to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, in the Roannais.

Rivers and forests line your route, beech groves, fir trees and pastures are never far away. At Cergne, you can contemplate a chapel erected by a member of the Destre family and on your way down you admire the charming village of Arcinges.
