[FR] Au départ de Paris, les Jacquets ont le choix de passer par Chartres ou atteindre plus directement Tours via Orléans. Longpont est plutôt sur le chemin vers Orléans. La ville est un lieu d’intérêt à l’échelle européenne par son ancien prieuré à l’origine du bourg, étape sur les chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle avec sa célèbre basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Garde contenant le plus important reliquaire de France.
[EN] The traditional route, or one of them, has been replicated by a marked pathway called a Grande Randonnée (GR). The Way of Tours is the GR655. The Via Turonensis proper starts in Paris, traditionally at tour Saint-Jacques, from where it is about 1450 km or two months walking to Santiago. A former priory was at the origin of the city of Longpont-sur-Orge known for its basilica Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Garde as a stop on the way to Compostella. It houses the most significant reliquary in France.
