@lovingkindness Thank you so much for this, it’s a real help. It looks like a really beguiling trail, so much history and beautiful scenery. I will digest this information keenly. I may trouble you again at some stage with additional questions if you don’t mind! 🤭
Yes sure. It begins in Caen and winds through the french interior before finishing in Bourg-madam in the Pyrenees Orientale. It seems less trodden than other Randoneés and it is very appealing. I understand it’s quite a specific ask so any knowledge gleaned on here is great.

Hey folks. The opportunity to walk during the festive period and beyond looks like a distinct possibility for me and I wonder if anyone has experience of being on pilgrimage during this time? I know the invierno is the ‘go-to’ winter route and I know the infrastructure of the CF is also a good...
I met with some Spanish students in Sarria who told me that it can be a good thing to have a completed 100km Camino on your resumé/CV. Apparently some employers/universities see the pilgrimage as a positive string to your bow. I thought that was kinda nice. BC.
