... I'm interested in getting more information on the French portion of this walk including up-to-date accomodation lists and pilgrim services. Are there accueil pelerin families on the French portion of this route?
T...Do you know of any English or French blogs on this Rando Guide route from Arles to the border with Spain at the Col du Perthus? There must be many folks who have used Le Chemin Catalan guide by Jean-Yves Gregoire, but I am not finding them on this forum or on French online walking sites. I enjoy reading blogs to get more information about the route and accomodations, but of course, the unknown is also fine....
...I wonder if I should do a query on this website under Cami Catalan/Cami San Jaume? Maybe that audience would include a few who started in France before continuing on the Cami Girona (Cami San Jaume).
Is there already a thread somewhere regarding the French part of the Camino which starts in Arles and connects with the Spanish Camino Girona (Cami Sant Jaume) to Montserrat and then the Camino Catalan to Logrono? I have the French Rando Guide Le Chemin Catalan: D'Arles a Logrono via Le Chemin de Le'Ebre (2013) which covers the route I am thinking of doing. It hugs the French coast initially, follows a bit of the Canal du Midi and then heads south to Narbonne and Perpignan continuing straight south before crossing the Col du Perthus and connecting with the Spanish Catalan camino route. I'm interested in getting more information on the French portion of this walk including up-to-date accomodation lists and pilgrim services. Are there accueil pelerin families on the French portion of this route?

Last Sept.-Oct I walked from Arles-Montpelier-Sete-Agda- Beziers-Carcassonne-St.JPdP. First of all thank you Caminka because I followed most of your route.
You're welcome!Thank you, this especially will be most helpful on my current Camino !!
that is wonderful news. hopefully I will return there one day - I have had an eye on the wonderful romanesque churches on the southern side of the pyrenees for a while now and this would be an excellent connecting route (again).Hello Caminka
I would say "Yes" as in each town/city there appeared to be a gite or chambre d'hotes which had a special rate for pilgrims if not an actual accueil pelerin.
Also another thing which I have done is depending on the circumstances. If I find myself in a situation where the pilgrim accommodation is still an hour or two away and I'm done, I ask in hotels if there is a special rate for pilgrims and have always been offered a discount. Maybe it's because they see an older white bearded fellow and take pity on me or they are just very accommodating.
futurefjp,Looks like I'm doing this route from Narbonne next week!!! Excited. It's been so long since I was last in The Way...
On my first time out I didn't know this about France, but when, in 2014, I set out from Dieppe, I had everyone helping me along the way. Then I seem to have forgotten this in my complacency. Walking a Camino is an opportunity to experience the wonders of civility: especially during a time of plague (Covid) and war (Afghanistan)?Salut, @Sitkapilgrim .
In France when following le chemin de st Jacques, If you find that you do not have anywhere to sleep for the night go to one of the following places, present your credential and asked for help in finding a bed for the night. The french are wonderfully kind:
Le presbytère
la mairie
la gendarmerie
la bibliothèque
le café
la pharmacie
la boulangerie
l'office de tourisme
people in the street
With a little help a pilgrim may find themselves a guest at the local maison de retraite; sheltered at the relais d'urgence; sleeping in a school hall or stadium or even an honoured guest of Monsieur/Madame le maire!
Bon courage!
I know times are difficult - I am packing a tentfuturefjp,
Good to read about your plans. Do post when you can to describe how it is now on the path.
Stay safe and Buen camino.
Ciao. Sei riuscito alla fine a fare questo percorso???Anche io vorrei partire il prossimo anno da Arles fino a Perpignano, per dopo agganciarmi al Camino Catalan di Saint Jaume. Se mi puoi passare le tue informazioni sarò gratta....!!!!C'è già un filo da qualche parte per quanto riguarda la parte francese del Camino che inizia ad Arles e si collega con il Camino spagnolo Girona (Cami Sant Jaume) a Montserrat e poi il Camino Catalan a Logrono? Ho la guida francese Rando Le Chemin Catalan: D'Arles a Logrono via Le Chemin de Le'Ebre (2013) che copre il percorso che sto pensando di fare. Inizialmente abbraccia la costa francese, segue un po' il Canal du Midi e poi si dirige a sud verso Narbonne e Perpignan proseguendo dritto verso sud prima di attraversare il Col du Perthus e collegarsi con il percorso del camino catalano spagnolo. Sono interessato a ottenere maggiori informazioni sulla parte francese di questa passeggiata, inclusi elenchi di alloggi aggiornati e servizi di pellegrinaggio. Ci sono famiglie accueil pelerin sulla parte francese di questo percorso?
