A guidebook to walking the 2000km Via Francigena pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. Part of a three-volume set, this volume covers the middle 726km, from Lausanne, Switzerland, to Lucca, Italy. Suitable for most abilities – although the crossing of the Jura mountains calls for moderate fitness – this section can be walked in around a month, or there is the option to cycle some of the way.

The route is presented in 32 stages, of between 13 and 34km (8–21 miles).
