[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1150908, member: 21017"] Day 1 Royan to Montalivet les Baines 31km So it's just Day 1 of Voie du Littoral (I just finished up the Voie des Capitales and the Connector over to Royan which I also posted about) I took the bac- the ferry from Royan to Pointe de Grave. In minutes of leaving the ferry I spotted my first route marker! After days of a dearth of markings on the end of the Capitales, today started with an over-abundance as they appeared at least every 500m as we followed a bike track and old railway to Soulac sur Mer. Soulac sur Mer is a resort sort of town with old villas and modern holiday homes. But for pilgrims key is the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Fin-des-Terres a 12th century church and its history is rooted in pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. It was actually buried in sand in 18th century before being uncovered and restored in the 19th. And is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Yet I headed on. There are 2 options either head to Granyon and L'Hopital which is more traditional or follow the bike route. I stuck with the bike route, and it too was marked for St Jacques. Flat, easy walking with gravel or dirt paths generally parallel to the bike track. The route does go through L'Amelie with bars, shop etc but then doesn't pass anything more until Montalivet. But it does pass Euronat campsite - it does offer a pilgrim discount but be comfortable to let it all hang out - however in the carpark there are toilets and water tap 🚰 So I am camping tonight in the municipal site- and to be honest I am going to be camping plenty this route. The accomodation lists have noticeable been shrinking- so last year there were 2 pilgrim hosts in Contaut but now none, and another campsite that had a caravan for pilgrims has been taken over by a more luxury brand and now has a minimum 2 night stay.
