What others are saying about The Pilgrim's France:
A Travel Guide to the Saints
By James and Colleen Heater

"The Heaters have lovingly parted the curtain on France's deep and rich spiritual tradition-required reading for the traveler looking beyond the standard tourist fare!"

  -James O'Reilly, Editor of Travelers' Tales France and Travelers' Tales Provence

"In a very inspirational, informative and practical way, the Heaters  help others to reach the deepest level of experiencing the true beauty of the sacred places they visit, and to know more personally the holy people who helped make them sacred."

-Br. Daniel Geary, OFM Conv. Pilgrimage Tour Leader

"James and Colleen Heater have done a magnificent service for anyone wanting to visit the heart and soul of France. Everything a pilgrim needs is right here-directions, history, secret places, and high inspiration."

   -Jyotish Novak, author of How to Meditate

"The Pilgrim's France is adept at providing the essential information, both practical and historical, to an impressive array of pilgrimage sites dating from every Christian era. With this guide in hand, the traveler to France becomes not only a knowledgeable pilgrim, but an inspired one as well."

 -Father Hugh Feiss, OSB, author of Essential Monastic Wisdom

"My only consolation for not having had The Pilgrim's Italy when I visited Italy last year is that when I return, I most certainly will. For the moment, I'm thoroughly enjoying reading The Pilgrim's France and recommend taking it on any trip to France. Splendidly executed!"

   -Carol Lee Flinders  

      Author of Enduring Grace: Living Portraits of Seven Women Mystics

"When I began my practice of pilgrimage, I went forth to find myself. To my surprise, I found the saints as well, acting as hidden lodestones in my experience. The Pilgrim's France is a tonic for the memory, making the saints alive again for the modern pilgrim."

  -Robert Tindall, Pilgrim
