[QUOTE="Alisoun, post: 519345, member: 70672"] JabbaPappa. Thanks for the information. I lived here briefly from 1991 to 1993, and then visited every year until 2004 as my parents lived here. I now live further south near Dax, but would really like to return to the Charente Maritime. I think there's a little more on offer in the way of accommodation than there was in 1994, but I gather the pilgrim lodgings are rather basic and not much fun. Everyone I've spoken to who passes in front of the house says there is often a 4 or 5km detour to get to other places and those are pricey. I agree that the people here are very friendly and there are still a number of local events. In fact there's a 'medieval day' in the village just before here to raise funds for the church restoration. I did think of seeing if that could be extended the 3 km along the road to a field next door and doing a "fayre" along the medieval theme, with folk "making the pilgrimage along the route" to arrive here. The only problem now is raising the funds necessary to buy the house and do the essential repairs. I may have to resort to 'crowdfunding' to find the extra needed. I have no idea if this falls within the sort of thing that folk would be willing to donate to. Nor for that matter how to start, so I'll need to do some research. Being a pensioner has a number of disadvantages when it comes to financing dreams! Fortunately after all my years in France I'm pretty clued up on language and relevant laws, and if I can get this project started then it'll be a non-profit thing. Though maybe in the off season it could generate a bit of income towards further developments. Anyway, please keep sending me input as it is all valuable in working out how this might come to fruition. [B]PS.[/B] for those doing the Voie de Tours I strongly recommend taking the train from Bordeaux to Dax as the path through the Landes is very dull. However, once at Dax it's much more interesting and Sorde l'Abbaye is well worth a visit. The ascent to St John Pied de Port is also lovely, but heaving with tourists from mid June through to mid September and B&B prices go up a lot. A lot of cyclists train on this part of the route for mini Tours de France and the real thing. [/QUOTE]
