[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 625413, member: 195"] It's really a general observation about the GR hiking trail versions in France as opposed to the traditional routes -- OK if your plan is to approach your pilgrimage as much as a hike as the Way, then sure following the GR routes can be the better choice. And I'm not saying "skip" any sections ; as a matter of fact, some of the harder sections are identical to the traditional route, whereas some physically easier tarmac sections might be of modern origin. But also vice-versa. My suggestion is really to try and be wise, or intuitive, or circumspect, or etc., from one day to the next concerning one's daily route, rather than following the GR waymarking as simply as one follows the yellow arrows in Spain. My comment was not about the Castanet-le-Haut to Ginestet section in particular. But rather that some tiny local tarmac roads in France can often be a better solution to those seeking an experience of the Way rather than the hiking trails that the GRs define. It is rare that making such a choice would require walking beside traffic -- most of those little roads, including down here on the historic tarmac'd Camino here, generally have maybe one motor vehicle every 5 minutes or so during rush hour, otherwise maybe one every half hour, and sometimes even fewer.
