Hi all above.
I am planning to walk from Arles starting about 25th Aug then walk the variant to Lourdes then on to Puente de La Reina and I am very interest to have a list of the gites ect where you stayed and your experiences.
Thanking you in advance...and hope you had a great Camino....
How does this look...
Lunas to Servies 16.7km + 3km downhill to gite and up 3km the next day.....
Servies to Castanet le Haut/ Le Fau off route 19km
Castanet le Haut to Murat sur Verbe 15.3km....
Are the km per day correct?
I am trying to plan my stages and would like some advice on breaking down the stages from Lunas - St Gervais sur Mare - Murat sur Vebre from the 2 stages into 3 stages as I have a hip injury and need to take shorter stages on the demanding Haut- Languedoc...any suggestions....
No problem .... I wish a wonderful camino....and would love to hear all your recommendations gites and stages ect.
God willing I am planning to start in Arles +/- 25 August...any one else starting that time?
Can anyone help or explain......I am busy trying to work out the stages starting in Arles.....

If I do that it seems that I will be...
Hi was wondering how your camino is going so far would really love to have your feed back after your trip on the stages you did and your experiences good and bad regarding the gites , places to eat and places not to miss....
Cheers

Is there a pilgrims hostel in Lourdes , I would like to spend 2 nights...
Did you start in Toulouse and the deviate to Lourdes and spend the first night to the Abbaye? was that the 25-27km
Day 2 to Ibos how many km was that?

What are your view on walking it still in 2 days after doing it in 3? I prefer to walk an average of 25km...
Hi Mike
Thank you for your reply.. and a few more questions..

Hi Karen and Dayton
Thank you for your route of stages. I will study it well....

Thank you Falcon.
I could only find a 2013 topo guide Arles - Toulouse do you know if they have made a newer version, also could not find 2nd portion Toulouse to Puenta de la Reina.
Any suggestions.
Hi
I would like to know if there is a Michelin Guide for the Arles route like the one for the Le Puy - St Jean Pied du Port?
If not where can I find between town to town a gradient/ altitude map.
