“All roads lead to Rome.”  Beginning in the early Middle Ages, the Cathedral at Canterbury, England, became a starting point for the pilgrimage road from England to Rome that became known as the Via Francigena. Our next pilgrimage arc on this sabbatical journey begins here in Canterbury, and takes us on a ferry across the English Channel to Calais, France.  From there we take a detour from the pilgrimage road, and go by rail to Paris, where we spend five nights in the “City of Lights” at a flat adjacent to Jardin du Luxembourg, the second largest public park in Paris and its most popular.
