[QUOTE="peregrino_tom, post: 953225, member: 4307"] I'm looking at options for a camino starting in France for the first time. I have been interested in the Arles route for a while. Recently an excellent pilgrim I met a few years ago has said he'll walk the Arles route later this year. I've been invited to join him. I have plenty of good reasons why it's not the right time to do this, but nonetheless I've been sucked into the planning process... I've heard good things about the Voie du Piemont and also fancy the hillier proximity to the Pyrenees. So far I've been able to find little useful practical information about crossing over from the Arles to the Piemont - so that's where you come in... I can see that maps show a branch off the Arles/GR653 at Montpellier, but that seems unnecessarily early (unless you tell me it is the best option - but there's an absence of Piemont guidebooks in print). I have seen threads here that describe branching off at Toulouse. But that seems far too late to me, as by then the Arles route has moved further north and, by the time you hit the Piemont it will almost be finished. The 'sweet spot' looks to be (on the map at least) the southernmost point of the Arles route at Montferrand/Labastide d'Anjou, just as it switches from going south west to north west. At this point it looks to be about 30km from the Piemont route further south (at Fanjeaux). I'm particularly interested to hear from anyone who has done the switch-over. I'd also welcome links to guidebooks and maps that people have found useful, particularly for the Piemont, as I have the latest Miam Miam Dodo for Arles and am also now on the Via Tolosana facebook group. Cheers, tom [/QUOTE]
