[QUOTE="bks, post: 1180567, member: 95911"] Most definitely use a light tent, especially if your doing the route you propose to do!!! They are lightweight, they are more comfortable, they keep the bugs out, they keep the little rodents away, you will be at ease sleeping in a tent when it rains (make sure you have a good fly), and you are more likely to use it rather than a bivy sac (and that's important because cheap accommodation is hard to come by on part of the route you intent to use, but there are plenty of wonderful campgrounds, especially in France). I have several tents including a one person MSR tent and it's met my needs. The inside of the fly is often moist after a night of sleeping but it does keep the rain out. I use a emergency blanket (50 grams) for a ground sheet under the tent. To reduce your weight don't carry tent pegs but use sticks, that are always available, for tent pegs. This summer I hiked part of the Francigena that you propose to hike and I tented on numerous occasions (always in campgrounds) and I wouldn't have wanted to be without my tent!! I loved the flexibility and independence it gave me. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
