The Via Gebenensis [Way of Geneva] comes from Geneva and joins Le Puy en Velay and the Way of Saint James, 1700km (Spain). After Savoie, the route gets smoother when you reach the Dauphiné's hills, inviting walkers to take this thousand-year-old challenging and spiritual route. Four historical routes led to Santiago, merging into one in Puenta la Reina, Spain. The Via Tolosana started from Arles, the Via Podiensis from Puy-en-Velay, the Via Lemovicencis from Vézelay and the Via Turomencis from Tours. If many pilgrims go to Compostela from these four places, a certain number began upstream their solitary walk. Among these itineraries attached to a main route, the "Via Gebennensis", from the Latin name of the departure city Geneva, allows German and Swiss pilgrims to join the Via Podiensis or route du Puy since 1998. Every year, 3500 pilgrims walk this 350 kilometers section also called GR65. After the mountains of Savoie, the way of St James enters in Isère by the municipalities of Aoste/ Romagnieu/ Les Abrets en Dauphiné / Saint Ondras and Valencogne for a soft stage on the Vals du Dauphiné's hills. In, 1998, the pilgrims road of St James was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The paths are marked and safe. The 21st century pilgrims, often well equipped, have very diverse motivations and go to Santiago on foot but also by bike or on horseback. Pilgrims accomodations (Accueils jacquaires) are installed in the area. They welcome you on presentation of the "credential". You can find their contact details in the "Guide Jaune Genève- Le Puy en Velay" of the Amis de St Jacques de Compostelle Rhône Alpes on sale at the association or in the tourist offices (10€).

Welcome to MALP for a captivating time travel to the Neolithic and the year 1000. Through the exceptional remains discovered under the waters of the lake, meet the men who lived there so long ago. Thanks to its remains and many legends, Lake Paladru has always been able to feed the imagination of its visitors. It was only during the 19th century, with the discoveries of Ernest Chantre, and the 20th century, with the excavations of Hyppolite Müller, that the history of the first archaeological sites, which emerged from the waters of the lake, was revealed. Over the years, the work of archaeologists escalated and became more specific. It was in 1972 that the archaeological sites of Lake Paladru received both national and international recognition. The lake soon became a site of experimentation for innovative excavation techniques, as well as a unique site in France, for the rarity of its findings. The museum is a history of encounters, sharing, discoveries, secrets and ideas which intertwine in and around the lake. It is also a history of a village and its inhabitants, all of whom, in one way or another, have encountered the lake and its history.
