The FFRandonnée (French Hiking Federation) and the European Association of Vie Francigene (EAVF) organised the event
“J’aime Francigena’, which took place from 21 September to 9 October 2022.
During the three-day walk from 21 to 23 September 2022, participants explored the two picturesque French departments of Marne and Aube on foot, learned about their history, appreciated their unique heritage and natural beauty, and participated in tastings and cultural events.
The second walk of the series took place on 30 September – 2 October 2022 along the section of the Via Francigena cultural route in the Pas-de-Calais department: from the Parc d’Olhain to Blessy.
On 7-9 October 2022, a group of walking enthusiasts, accompanied by a certified guide, social media influencers and locals, walked a stretch from Mamirolle and Saône to Besançon – an area famous for its history, nature, citadels, medieval fortifications and other architectural and artistic landmarks.
