Jean-Claude Bourlès

Jean-Claude Bourlès (22 November 1937, Rennes) is a French writer-traveller from Brittany.

Passionate about the camino de Santiago, he wrote three books on the subject, relating, for the first two, his own experience as a pilgrim of the path of paths, the third being a sort of collection of testimonies on the motivations of the many pilgrims he met.

As a writer, he participated in many magazines such as Grands Reportages, Terre Sauvage, Pays de Bretagne.

His work Chronique du bel été earned him the Prix Louis-Guilloux in 1983.
