Thanks, we knocked on the door at the Parish office a number of times but no answer. We tried the Eglise St. Trophime but they had run out of credentials, but they were very helpful nonetheless. Cheers, Kenton.
Hi brains trust, we have been to l'eglise St. Trophime but could only get a stamp. We then went to the parish office at 12 rue de cloitre and have knocked on the door (yesterday afternoon and again this morning in office hours) without success. Does anyone know where else to try? We walk out...
Hi everyone, thanks for the information.
I have just sent an request to the AFOTC.
I had looked at getting them from the forum store but the freight was very expensive via DHL (only option), see attached.
We'll get extra credentials in Arles and then SJPdP
Thanks, Kenton
Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find detail in searches.
Hi, my wife and I are walking from Geneva to Arles and then on to SdC 🤞, starting mid April 2023.
We were wondering if there is anywhere to get a Credential / Pilgrims Passport in Geneva.
Thanks in advance, Kenton.
Hi, my wife and I walked from Le Puy in 2017. I had told my wife that it doesnt snow in May so we left Le Puy on the 1st of May and, yep, it snowed in the hills on the 30th April. It was cold some days but it is one of our favourite walks, just beautiful and we found you could get in to most...
Hi Glenda, my wife and I live in the hills district and before we head over for a Camino we will walk from Arana Hills over the range to Samford and back, via fire trails. It's about 20 km return trip with plenty of altitude gain (about the same height as Mount Cootha) and we have a light...
Hi Everyone,
I have tried to cross reference all the various information and think I have sorted it for now. We aren't really worried about it, by the time you get there these things seem to resolve themselves with talking to Pilgrims, Hospitaleros and Locals.
Interesting that both BC and...
Hi Firedragon, I am using the Miam Miam Dodo and Gronze resources. The Buen Camino app says that the Arles guide is pending production, does it have information for Voie d'Arles? Thanks.
Hi Brains Trust,
We are in the planning stage for the Voie d'Arles which we will be walking in May 2023. We are using both Gronze and Miam Miam Dodo (20/21). We have been looking at the various stage distances, and associated accommodation, and generally it looks good.
Other than Giscaro and...
G'day Perigrinos,
We always get our Compestela when we finish, why not?
And lots of our friends have asked what we do when we disappear for 3 months of the year, so we framed a copy of the two Compestela certificates and our passport from the Via del Plata (our 1st "long distance" walk) with...
G'day Suzanne,
Yes, we love walking France for their Gites and Accueills Jacuaires and Parochial accommodation. My wife reckons I find food and wine trails to walk ;-)
The dates are on the spreadsheet excerpt - starting mid April 2023. Locus Maps is an Android / Iphone (?) application that...
Hi, my wife and I are planning a similar walk but - walking from Geneva to Gillonnay to Arles and then across to SdC. We have the yellow and blue books from the association and have planned stages per below. We have allowed some stages over 30kms but with a bit of research you would be able to...
G'day RevGreg,
How good is this forum? Always encouraging us on. Whilst we all carry some burden, I think the biggest challenge is between our ears. I am a larger person (6'2" and 140 kilo's) but my weight has never stopped me from doing what I want to do and over a 5 year period have walked...
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the share.
My wife and I have walked a number of French, Spanish and Portuguese ways. In 2019 we walked the VF from Canterbury to Rome.
I enjoyed reading the review and felt it fairly consistent with our experience. We were restricted to the 90 day Schengen limit but...
Thanks MSPATH, that is the sort of way we are looking to walk as it is more direct to Arles and helps us to manage our Schengen Zone / 90 day challenge. :-)
