Thanks for that info. I've sent a message to the Cathedral St Pierre but haven't heard back yet. I'll contact the Geneva Tourist Office to see if they will put the credential aside for our pickup in April.
Yes thanks, we have a printout of the route but it doesn't have the accommodation options. We plan to wing it but just working out the distance for the first night.
We are arriving in Geneva by early train from Paris 3 April 2023 and plan to spend the day looking around and then walking out and into France on the new Via Gebennensis (GR65) through Haute Savoie (not vis Lyon) So looking for the shortest distance to Pilgrim accommodation. Does anyone know if...
Hi Alwyn, We're only planning to do 2023 km so may only get to Toulouse, we'll see how it goes :) Anyway, as you know, there's no holding back a kiwi ;)
We are vegan (not vegetarian, so no animal products) and have walked 9 different Caminos since 2015 and never had a problem getting enough nutritious food. We buy fresh fruit and veg and eat along the way so rarely need to go out to restaurants. However, when we found a restaurant that served...
So here's an update from us! Like many we were grounded in 2020 so could not travel. However, we are now back on track to arrive in Paris April 2023 and spend 3 months walking 3 caminos in 3 countries! This time we plan to start our walk from Geneva to SJPdP via Le Puy, then onto the Francès and...

Hi Julesy, welcome to the wonderful world of Caminos! Agree with all the other comments, but have a couple of tips. Best to fly into Paris and take the train from there. If you keep your pack light you shouldn't need to have it transferred. We keep ours between 6-8kg. The phone, get an Orange...
Hi Karl,
thanks for your advice. We do have Gronze set up thru Chrome, but like to use MMDD to journal in as we go along. We should hear from CSJ this week if they have a copy for us.
Thanks for your input, we've decided to start in Montpellier as we've lived in the Arles-Montpellier region in a past life (loved it at the time especially the Camargue) but we have time restraints for what we want to do so shortening the Arles Route accordingly. Lots of people say that it's...
Thanks for your info :) . We've decided to just catch the Canal entering Toulouse. We lived (and worked) on the canal from Sete to Toulouse in a past life (!) so really just want to walk the canal in part while on the Arles Route for nostalgia :) .
