Let me call the Office du Tourisme in L’Isle Jourdain and ask them for lodgings from there on the Chemin. Hopefully they have a pdf list that I can leave you with. L’Isle Jourdain is just up the road…
Camping is allowed. I would suggest that given the political and social climate, you use camping sites rather than camping in the wild. Seriously. As for the weather, you are walking in southern France where it often is warmer than where you live, hotter than in Paris. Do remember to have some...

Indeed, the monasteries are absolutely beautiful. In the « new monastery » there is a fantastic exhibition of the monastery with figureheads. So you walk on see through planks and on the one hand you see old remaining walls including old bread furnaces, iron furnaces and the pharmacy that were...
