Product Description
While France is known for the romantic grandeur of Paris, beautiful chateaus, lush vineyards and gourmet cuisine, it also offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking more meaningful travel experiences at its many inspiring spiritual shrines. The Pilgrim’s France leads the spiritual adventurer from Normandy to the Pyrenees, from Mont-St-Michel to the Riviera, and from Brittany to the Alps, inviting the pilgrim to encounter the deep blessings of many sacred places.

This unique guidebook explores seven shrines of the Virgin Mary and more than thirty saints, providing fascinating biographies of these revered souls. Stories of well-known historical figures such as St. Joan of Arc come to life, as well as St. Catherine Labouré, the saint of silence, responsible for the miraculous medal. For those seeking spiritual serenity and inspiration with a Gallic flavor, this book will serve as a faithful companion to experience the heart and soul of France.

Features include:

Inspiring biographies of the saints

Location of hidden rooms with saints’ relics

Instruction on how to meditate with the saints

How to find quiet areas for meditation and prayer

Useful maps and directions

Helpful references for lodging in monasteries

"The saints’ presence is very much alive, today, at these shrines. James and Colleen Heater show us how truly to receive the saints’ blessings, by experiencing for ourselves their living presence." -- J. Donald Walters, author of Meditation for Starters

Reader Reviews
James and Collen Heater have written a wonderful series of travel books for those of us seeking a more spiritual journey - or a spiritual quest of sorts. In the true sense of the word "pilgram" this book provides a "traveler" all they need to find the sacred places in France. To go where the saints and sages lived and walked. To meditate and pray in those holy places that are hundreds of years old. To feel that divine energy in those very special places - this is what the book is all about. If you are going to europe anytime in the futre - take along not only this book but all of their books in the "Pilgrim" series of travel books. It will be the best thing you can pack for the trip. This book is worth of your purchase! It will be money well spent - in will be "good karma"! I personally recommend this book for all travlers to Europe and for those arm-chair adventures to dream along with the book. I would rank it higher than FIVE STARS - IF I COULD DO SO.
