Camino Photo of the Day: Take your Shell

For centuries the universally recognized symbol of the pilgrim on their way to Santiago has been the shell. While not every pilgrim carries one on their pack or person, many still do. There are countless places where you can purchase one, but here, several kilometers past Saugues, we see a small stand giving them away – though a donation is of course appreciated!

Date: 20 August 2023
Place: between Saugues and La Clauze, Haute-Loire Département, Region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
