The path that Bishop Sigerico wrote about in the 10th century during his journey back from Rome to Canterbury, the Via Francigena covers more than 2000 km beginning in England and crossing France and Switzerland before culminating at the Piazza San Pietro in Rome. The Tuscan tract is widely believed to be the most captivating of them all, especially along the Val d’Elsa, the Sienese and Val d’Orcia. It is possible to organize treks of varying length with stays in the numerous lodgings located along the route.
