    Walks on the Via Francigena in 2024

    "Free" walks? One doesn't usually pay!

    Lucca to Rome - Should I?

    There will be many pilgrims on that stretch in September, but there is plenty of accommodation. Have a look at https://www.viefrancigene.org/en/accommodations-facilities/. Waymarking is good, and it would be difficult to get lost.

    what does Gronze use for stages in the Via Francigena

    I would emphatically recommend the Lightfoot Guide by Paul Chinn. It gives route variants which can save time and energy over the 'official' route which zigzags all over the place in France.

    Sellos on the Francigena

    In Italian timbro; in French tampon. The stamps are more easy to come by in Italy, but the French are waking up to it as well. Also you can get one at the churches between Canterbury and Dover.

    Info on Via Francigena?

    As @Bradypus says, the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome exists to give information and support to pilgrims wanting to walk or cycle to Rome. Their website provides a free planning pdf which can be downloaded https://pilgrimstorome.org.uk/planning/, and there is also an email information service...

    Cycling The Francigena

    Check this out. There is a whole section on cycling the VF (though mainly the northern part Canterbury to Rome) . There is also an accommodation list for the VF del Sud. https://pilgrimstorome.org.uk/planning/

    App - km vs miles

    Slightly more accurate (I think!) is multiply by 10 and divide by 6. Works for me.

    Bonne route or bon chemin

    A long day to Champlitte

    Don't forget tomorrow (Monday 29th) is a public holiday in France, so stock up. And you amaze me...the sun beating down "from above"....whoever would have thought it?

    Food for thought when planning your VF walk

    Three times! Franco-Prussian War as well.

    Via Francigena Interactive Map

    From La Storta to Rome--Need advice

    It was indeed deeply unpleasant (2016) with the traffic bearing down on you and no pavement/sidewalk in places. I'd take the train out to Campagnano di Roma and walk between there and La Storta, which is surprisingly rural and pretty.

    Blogging Via Francigena

    These days it's more like 2000+km, if you follow the signage. If you get the excellent Lightfoot guides they will give variant, often shorter, routes which follow the historic VF.

    Via Francigena - Which route from Pontarlier to Orbe?

    The 'historic' Jougne route is beautiful, and reasonably easy walking. From Pontarlier you walk along the old railway line, and then alongside a little tourist rail line. The path alongside the Orbe gorge is lovely, and very easy.

    Thanks, Tim

    Camping and food

    The Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome will be translating and selling the booklet from their website from spring 2023. Unfortunately it's not downloadable as the French authors/publishers are keen not to have unauthorised our outdated versions circulating (which would reduce their takings...

    P&O ferry open to Foot Passengers?

    Hi, Bob. I am replying on behalf of the Confraternity. On Monday 28 November we were told that P&O Ferries would no longer take foot passengers after the end of this year. They had re-instated foot passenger traffic earlier this year after much energetic lobbying. I got in touch with customer...
