The shared routes between Santiago de Compostela and Mont-Saint-Michel
To link the two major shrines, the Association "les Chemins du Mont-Saint-Michel" has signed friendship pacts with the associations of Friends of Santiago de Compostela in Anjou, Brittany, Normandy, Touraine and Sarthe.
Today, three routes link Mont-Saint-Michel to the Tours route to Santiago de Compostela.
La Voie des Capitales crosses Brittany and the Vendée, via Pontorson, Rennes, Nantes, Clisson, Montaigu and Surgères.
La Plantagenet Way comes from Anjou, via Saint-James, Fougères, Vitré, Pouancé, Angers, le Puy-Notre-Dame, Parthenay and Niort.
- The Grand Chemin montois comes from Saint-James, Mayenne, le Mans and Tours (320 km)
These routes are signposted in both directions, allowing miquelots coming from the "south" to reach the Mont using the Saint-Michel signposts, and vice versa, offering the possibility, using the same paths, for jacquets leaving the Mont to reach Saint-Jacques by following the Compostellan shells,

Cultural walks
To help you discover these different routes, the Association organises several heritage walks each year, the "Spring Walk", a weekend walk, without arriving at Mont-Saint-Michel, to promote a Town Departure over 2 or 3 days, and the "September Walk", to arrive at Mont-Saint-Michel on 29 September, Saint-Michel's Day, with each time historical breaks and visits, welcomes, meetings...
The Historic meetings
In response to public interest in research into pilgrimages and the cult of Saint Michael, the Association organises a one-day conference every two years, on 8 May, the spring Saint Michael's Day. The proceedings of these conferences are published by the Association and are available from the Association (see heading "Shop
