Starting in Lourdes

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
For anyone thinking of joining the Arles Route in Lourdes there is now a Pilgrims Office provided by the local Amigos Association. They have maps, Credencials and accommodation. The office is run by Daniel a volunteer and Camino veteran.

Very good to know, thanks Johnnie. We are starting at Lourdes on 27 May
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

He gives pilgrims a warm and kind welcome, indeed.
The bureau is easy to find -it is in a roundabout, in the main road to the sanctuary, at the beginning of the string of tourist shops.
 
Can you tell me is it possible to walk from St Jean to Lourdes? I'm looking for a guide book and links.

My mother and I are hoping to start walking on Monday 10th April and arrive in Lourdes on Easter Sunday. All help and advice greatly received.

Lots of info. in this forum. Search using "Piemont"

It's a wonderful, quirky route.

The Pilgrims Office there has existed since at least 2014, but it is certainly lovely to hear that they now have their own premises.
 
Thank you for the replies.

Bshea, your first link didn't seem to work for me.

Donal, I may ask you about this the next time I see you!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Here's the link to the godesalco site. Click on the Piemont tab at the bottom. Scroll all the way down to click on Lourdes on the left, then down to St Jean on the right at the bottom of the page. Hope it works this time.

This is a general question for my curiosity. It probably should be posted in “Equipment etc” but would probably get a lot of Spain replies. I’m not bringing my emergency beacon but I did read on...
