La Voie d'Arles October - November
Good on you Lunna so great to hear you had a wonderful experience. I’m on a cycling Camino now, I left Paris October 9 and I’m in Châteauroux tonight (Vézelay route). Not sure of which Camino I’ll follow once in Spain either Ignaciano to Barcelona or Del Cid to Valencia. Best wishes to Michael- Michael Glennon

Sorry not sure about bail out points but looking on the map you could avoid some trails in favour of roads.- Michael Glennon

Hi Lunna, thanks so much for your kind feedback. I can only think of one or two gîtes that I did not like all the rest were great !!! After Montpellier and Grabels the accent begins to the beautiful town of St Guilhem le Désert, from there It took me 9 days to reach Castres where it's more...- Michael Glennon

Hi Cherie, thank you and yes I did walk further than the Canal du Midi. After two years of procrastination I’m finally ready to complete my post on the wonderful Arles Camino I undertook in October 2016. My earlier posts got me as far as the Canal so I’ll continue from there with photographs and...- Michael Glennon

From Castres to Toulouse the hills are not as taxing and the going gets easier. The landscape is more agricultural and opens up to vast fields of crops and pasture. Fortunately there is not massive clearing and belts of trees protect fields from wind and leave space for wildlife to exist...- Michael Glennon

From Lunas the going gets really tough so I was glad to have gained some fitness along the way walking from Arles. The trail goes through beautiful forest which is silent other than a few bird tweets and the sound of my own feet, lots of twisting and winding up steep rocky slopes. One section...- Michael Glennon

La Voie d'Arles October - November
Interesting yes the eight week course in French made some difference and I'm glad I did it but honestly I would have been fine with zero French. So long as one is ok with aloneness it's a brilliant walk and when you do come in contact with humans remember to smile and be pleasant which is not...- Michael Glennon

Phone to have or not to have. It's 5km to Lunas from Joncels and I'd heard they had a Tabac shop there where I could buy Orange phone credit for the mobile I definitely was not going to bring on the Camino. I found the shop/bar slightly off route and bought a 10€ credit receipt but could not...- Michael Glennon

Saint Guilhem Le Désert to Joncels. The mountains have been delightful although a real test for my fitness. I was lucky to escape forecasted rain as there has been only fog and light drizzle. The path out of St Guilhem is well waymarked but it's steep and rocky zigzaging and climbing up the...- Michael Glennon

After all the useful advice I got on this forum I decided to learn some French and undertook an eight week course at Alliance Francaise de Sydney before beginning my Camino. So now I'm confident to walk the walk and even attempt the talk. The canal alternative route out of Arles was an...- Michael Glennon

Arles route October November zero French
Hi Filly I'm thinking about walking the canal route to St Gilles too so I'd love to hear how you go. I looked on Google Earth and the only difficulties I could see were a motorway and a railway line to cross. What's the best way to follow your journey ? Thanks for the tip on Pop' Hostel, I've...- Michael Glennon
