I will try to add it here below . Looks like it works...
If you are getting to Vezelay then i would recommend continuing on the Voie de Vezelay . See here https://www.chemin-compostelle.fr/les-etapes-de-la-voie-de-vezelay/ It's really beautiful and well serviced.
I would myself prefer end of august as starting period from Toulouse. It's a wonderful itinerary. In Oloron you have a choice ,either go to SJPP on the well known Camino Frances (remember that SJPP to Roncesvalles is a very long and steep stage ) or switch to the Camino Aragones thru Col du...
Getting better, no cough,no temp but still a bit fatigued. Thinking about the Camino ,would say spending days or weeks in public places is probably a bit of a risk...even using private accomodations am not sure it's enough to keepe the bug away. Only in one expensive b&b we were keppt out of...
We're just back from 18 days on the Camino Frances we walked using private accomodations all the time . Last day in Astorga we were coughfing and feeling fatigued. A test a taken as soon as we returned confirmed we were postive (we're vaccinated and boosted).
Possibly the spread of Covid was...
Have walked this route years ago. Din't meet anybody doing the whole route. but just a few walkers doing one/two days bits. This said i would be very surprised if there would be an organized service for bag transports . It is a very beautiful route.
Check here if you can find some clue...

Check Camino de Madrid on this forum. Very beautiful but lonely at times ....Based on the time you have you can skip some km at the beginning and you have good train connection from Sahagun back to Madrid at the end....

As many have said CF has a very unique type of appeal. After that ,to relive long distance pilgrimage you can pick Le Puy ,Norte or Via de la plata, each one of them having some similarities with CF but also great differences . Otherwise, depending upon the time you have, you could start in...
Cannot help on east cost but for a three week's hike i would give a look here

It connects Aquileia on the north east of italy to Genova crossing several beauiful historical towns.

Hi John, i believe that going to Rome would bring you into a sort of 'cul de sac' considering your intent to get to Casablanca.
It looks like you can do this only by going to Spain and then continue south. In this case the only way out of Rome would be walking back the Via Francigena to Sarzana...
Would say you have the option to continue from Arles onto the GR 653D (guide available from the French Federation of Hickers FFRP) to Montgenevre .
There you are on the Via Francigena branch coming from France that will join in Vercelli the other branch coming down from Switzerland St.Bernard...
Give a look here (from stage 27 on )

As far as a guide would recommend (as others have already done on this forum) Monica d'atti's guide in english
