Cycling in Holland
This film won’t show the full monty bike experience. It does show how the Dutch enjoy cycling and and how it’s an indispensable part of everyday life.
It’s a sneak peek at how the Dutch experience cycling and it just might tempt you to visit Holland and try it for yourself. The Netherlands has more bikes than residents (1.3 bikes per person!).
Cycling is an important part of local culture, and the Dutch enjoy travelling almost everywhere by bike, in all weather and seasons, combining their transport with an opportunity to be active.

About the French Way of St James Camino
Of the four main pilgrimage routes in France to St Jean Pied de Port, where pilgrims would connect with the Camino Francés, the Via Podiensis, also known as The Way of Le Puy or more simply, the French Way of Saint James, is by far the most popular.
Once the word had spread across Europe that the apostle of St James’ relics had been discovered in Santiago, a pilgrimage to the site became a rite of passage. The journey at times rivalled a trip to Jerusalem or Rome, and pilgrims from as far as Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic made their way through France to St Jean Pied de Port.
While the earliest recordings of pilgrims on this way dates back to 950AD, the popularity of the Via Podiensis today can be traced back to more recent times when the long distance GR65 hiking route was created in the 1970s. As more modern day travellers began to seek ways to Santiago, the French Way of St James stood out as the most spectacular, taking in some of the most scenic parts of France.
The Via Podiensis begins in Le Puy-en-Velay and travels across the high plateaus of the Massif Central, the volcanic highlands of Velay, through rustic villages, past impressive castles, quaint villages, a myriad of monuments and through the picturesque French countryside. For today’s travellers, the Via Podiensis provides one of the most beautiful of all the ways. Unlike the Camino Francés, it avoids major cities and towns.
