    Arles Route

    I have walked both routes as a single female in May and not encountered any problems. I agree with the earlier posts, not more difficult, but the day from Lodeve I think it was, was very long and lonely through endless pines on forest roads. Each section was very beautiful, but just a little...

    Walking the Arles route?

    I walked the route the other way from Montpellier to Puenta la reina in April May last year and found it generally well marked, certainly in France the routes are marked in both directions. You should have no problem.

    Pilgrim accommodations along Vezelay and Arles

    I walked it April/May this year and saw a few lone French, couple of New Zealanders and an Australian, a québécois Jesuit priest and a French woman with whom I walked from Montpellier to Toulouse, and between Pau and Puenta la Reina three French men, two travelling together, and three solo...

    Leaving Toulouse

    I took the bus to Pibrac and then walked to Legueven where I stayed at the Maison st Jacques, run by the Mairie and volunteers. it looked pretty dull otherwise and the route is not particularly attractive until after at least Isle Jourdain. I took the CSJ guide and the Miam Miam Dodo which was...

    should I start from Arles, le Puy, or Vezelay?

    I have walked from Le Puy twice and from Montpellier on the Arles route and would heartily recommend either. However, in May the Le Puy route may be quite crowded and on both you will need to plan accommodation stops and book ahead. Getting around rural France can be pretty difficult and time...

    Advice Arles route September

    Hi Nalod I walked the route from Montpellier earlier this year and loved it. I had quite a lot of rain, but even so they were offset by marvellous sunny days with stupendous scenery. I also used the CSJ guide which I found very useful for information. I had few problems with way marking, but...

    Pilgrim accommodations along Vezelay and Arles

    Personally I found them both invaluable, you need the Miam for lodgings and planning ahead re services etc but the Gaches gives the route and information in English not in the Miam. I don't think it would be feasible without a guide and a proper map would sometimes have been useful. You could...

    Pilgrim accommodations along Vezelay and Arles

    I walked the Arles route in March/April this year and found a few pilgrims and no shortage of reasonably priced gites, often with cooking facilities. I used the CSJ guide for the route and the Miam Miam Dodo for accommodation, whiich was excellent. It is a beautiful route which passes through...

    Anyone else starting from Arles in April?

    Hi there Having looked on the Calendar no one is registered to be leaving on the Arles route, so I wondered if anyone else is planning it for April as I'd like a bit of company on the road! I'd be happy for any private messages if you prefer thanks Buen Camino

    Arles in early April?

    I was hoping to set off on the Arles route in March, I can't wait to start another camino having completed le Puy to Santiago last October. However, as a woman of a certain age walking alone I am worried it will be too isolated and I should try and find others to walk with, at least from time...
