Camaiore is a picturesque town, located along the famous Via Francigena (ancient pilgrim route). It entices you to stroll through its historic center to admire its ancient buildings and to browse its characteristic artisan workshops. The ancient streets of this town are renewed each year with colorful sawdust carpets according to the tradition of the Corpus Christi religious holiday. Artisans work all night to create these artistic artifacts, that you can actually admire as they are created, which are then destroyed in the morning as the religious procession passes by.
