    Camino Arles

    The CSJ guide is goodbut you will also need the Miam-Miam-Dodo Guide. This is in French but is very simple and mostly icon driven so I defy anyone tobe incapable of understanding it; it has information for each village and town covering accommodation/cafés/restaurants/shops &...

    Regular route or variant?

    The Petit Rhone 'variant' is very nice and keeps you off the tarmac but as previously stated you will need to carry some food and drink with you. Just don't do what I did when I sat down on the bank in the shade for a snack and didn't notice that I had saton an a time ants' nest. I didn't...

    Miam Miam Dodo Arles/Aragonès Guide Book 2019/2020

    Check on amazon.fr and see if they have it; I buy most of my guidebooks from them.

    Walking Arles mid November to mid December

    I'm sure it's doable but expect it to be wet and windy at times, you'll also not see many other people and I'd suggest booking your accommodation at least a few days ahead as much will be closed. Ultreïa

    Newbie needs some help to start camino from South France

    The Arles Camino is very uninteresting until Montpellier which is a lovely and very friendly city. Beyond St Guillen Le Désert it gets challenging through the hills but levels off after that. It IS a quiet Camino but goes through beautiful country.

    Accommodation in St Guilhem Le Desert

    I stayed at the Carmel where they were very kind and it was a good place to stay. I have to return to do the next bit and plan to stay at the Club Alpin Francais gite but only because I can get a discount there as I am a member of another national alpine club. Ultreïa

    Pilgrim accommodations along Vezelay and Arles

    If you don't already have it get hold of a copy of the Miam Miam Dodo guide for the Arlesey Route. It is in French but mostly icon driven and really easy to use and lists a whole load of information about accommodation, cafés, restaurants, ATMs, shops, public transport, etc. It really is useful...

    Pilgrim Accommodation on the Arles Route

    Miam Miam Dodo is the best, lists all types of accommodation plus info of shops/cafés/ transport etc.. Its6in French but if you don't do French don't worry as it uses icons and is very intuitive. It even indicates what languages are spoken at accommodations. I think it's brilliant. Ultreïa

    Why so few pilgrims on the camino of Arles. It is a wonderful path in the spirit of Camino.

    Sorry Peregrina Hi Peregrina2000, I'm sorry I sent some information to a wrong address. My blog is at www.sixwheeler.net and you will find the bit that I did under the Via Tolosana heading. I did start in Arles but wish I hadn't; between Arles and Montpellier is extraordinarily dull with too...

    Why so few pilgrims on the camino of Arles. It is a wonderful path in the spirit of Camino.

    I've done the first bit and recommend starting from beautiful Montpellier. I believe that you are following my blog so you can see what I wrote in 2013, I met enough other pilgrims in September to make it interesting but prefer to mostly walk solo. Really hope to get back to it as I had got to...

    Arles Route April and May 2016

    Miam Miam Dodo is best for accommodation. It's in French but very easy to understand if you don't speak the language. Ultreïa

    Arles Route 2016

    Do visit Arles as its beautiful. Visit the Alyscamps where the nice girl in the entry kiosk will stamp your Credential and point out the official start point of the Arles Route just opposite her kiosk; as you are a pilgrim she will also let you into the Alyscamps free and its a lovely peaceful...

    How busy - this September?

    Falcon has it spot on, I walked part of it from Arles last year. Saw other pilgrims every day and had opportunity for long conversations every day (some very surprising!). Best to try and choose accommodation where you will be with others. Have a great time. Ultreïa.

    hope how well marked is the Arles route please

    It's all there but you need to keep your eyes open. I found that placement was guided by the 'anxiety factor'. When I got anxious one turned up. ****Useful tip: If you can't see any way marks look back the way you've come and you'll often see the ones going the other way; if you can't you may...

    Anyone starting from Arles mid-April?

    It is clear that the Arles Route is MUCH quieter than the better known Camino's. I walked in mid-September and did meet people but not many. If I remember correctly there was one day when I met no one but most days there were others about. Probably about two to six only at that time. It is a...

    Anyone starting from Arles mid-April?

    Sorry, won't be on it until September. Did two weeks from Arles last September and loved the experience, you'll have such a wonderful time. Ultreïa.
