The complete 2010 LightFoot  Guide to the via Francigena consists of three books:

Vol. One         Canterbury to Besançon

Vol. Two         Besançon to Vercelli

In this 2010 edition the authors continue to use the official route in Italy, as approved and signed by the Italian Minister of Culture, but also offer additional opportunities where it is too challenging for one or more groups. This density of information has increased the number of instruction  sheets and the decision has been taken to transfer all cultural and historical information to the Companion to the via Francigena.  For more information go to:
