The symbol of Saint James, the scalloped shell, became the primary symbol representing pilgrims. French pilgrimage routes to Compostela tend to follow old Roman roads, many of which continued to be utilized as primary roads of communication during the Middle Ages. Sauveterre-de-Béarn has the Church of Saint André, a castle, and an old fortified bridge.
