At the foot of the eternal hill, the village of Asquins deserves our attention. Indeed, this village houses not only a remarkable church Saint-Jacques, but also the real starting point for pilgrims since the Middle Ages. Thus, history wants Aimery Picaud, the famous author of the Codex Calixtinus, to stay in Asquins in order to write the guide that still makes reference nowadays to lead our steps towards Compostelle. This village has witnessed the great gatherings of the first crusades and lives from many pilgrims. It is essential to gather in the church of St. James in front of the magnificent polychrome buste of unknown origin of the th century, of Saint James, very "expressive" before taking the path.
