Abstract
Unlike other Burgundian travellers, Guillebert de Lannoy visited and described other pilgrimage sites than the Holy Land. Admittedly, Jerusalem and Egypt, as the most eminent places of pilgrimage in general, occupy a primordial place in his travelogue, but this paper concentrates on other pilgrimages or rather visits to sacred places (to Compostela, Rome , Prague or Ireland).
Throughout its hybrid and unfinished narrative, these destinations represent an individual undertaking, specific to the phenomenon of noble pilgrimage.
