[QUOTE="LesBrass, post: 532173, member: 29343"] Hello [USER=66469]@hollinhead[/USER] I live between Perigueux and Bergerac and I get really confused about which paths are 'the' camino and which aren't. I get the feeling that there are a few varients and that maybe local folks have disputed and changed the route over the years? In the village next to ours at Bourrou there is a huge old convent… part of it no longer in use and in a bit of a state and part of it still working. We were told by the mayor a few years ago (who tried to sell it to us :eek:) that it once served as a resting place for pilgrims? But I don’t think it is on any of the modern routes? Even the ‘current’ path from Perigueux has changed in the last few years. The first time I walked it from home, I joined the route between St Astier and Neuvic and walked to Ste Foy as part of my practice walks for my first CF. Recently I walked this section again with friends and the route was different going into Mussidan from St Astier. It seems to have merged with part of the new Voie Vert (green path) that joins Perigueux to Bordeaux. (by the way you can now walk from Perigueux centre to St Astier along the river on the Voie Vert... it's generally a really pretty walk... this site is in French but you'll get the gist [URL]http://www.ccivs.fr/au-service-des-habitants/veloroute-voie-verte[/URL] ) This website might also help with the two route options? [URL]http://www.compostelle-limousin-perigord.fr/voies.php?p=m1b[/URL] I can see Grignol chateau from my garden and this website [URL]http://walkinginfrance.info/pilgrimages/the-way-of-vezelay/perigueux-to-bergerac/[/URL] is by pilgrims who walked the variant you mentioned. On the paths around my home there are plenty of camino arrows but I’ve not walked this entire section… it’s on my list! Also, there are a number of villages that will have small hotels/rooms above bars/restaurants… not specifically for pilgrims but there are options. I’m not sure I have offered any clearer advice but hopefully pointed you to a few ideas…. Please feel free to get in touch for more info and if I can help I’ll happily do so! p.s. St Astier has an excellent local market on a Thursday morning… maybe if you go that route you could arrive on a Wednesday evening and spend an hour or two in the market the next morning before heading off…It’s big, fills the old town and is full of local produce. We love spending an hour or two here when we can. [/QUOTE]
