From the high Jura plateau of Sainte-Croix, the trail descends steeply on the historic salt road to the Jura plain. It runs through fields, forests and wine-growing regions on flat terrain, passing authentic villages and medieval churches to reach the day’s destination in Orbe.
After Orbe, the Via Francigena reaches the medieval town of Romainmôtier with its Cluniac abbey. Finally, you arrive at the centre of the world, where part of the Nozon River flows into the Mediterranean Sea and the other part into the North Sea.
