I walked the Camino Frances in 2015 and met many Irish who inspired me to walk from Ireland this year. I am going to walk from Dublin starting at St. James Gate at the Guinness factory. I can walk the Wicklow Way and then go on to Rosslare and take ferry to Cherbourg. Then there is a Way to Mont. St. Michel, but from there I cant find much other than it looks like you walk to Poitiers and then are on the Tours Way? Looking for suggestions and direction?

Kevin considine,

Your walking plans are both ambitious and intriguing!
For routes to follow after Mont St Michel check out this Brittany.
Another useful site is that of the Breton Association of Friends of St James. Both these webs have many links to further info.

Happy planning and Bon chemin!

thanks. The spreadsheet is helpful. I will probably do Mont St. Michel to Tours and then pick up the route coming from Paris.

I walked from Cherbourg in 2013, but not via Poitiers. If you PM me your email address I will send you my "as walked" itinerary.

Hi Kevin,

I would also recommend the Breton Association as per mspath above. When I was in Brittany last year I bought the French version of the guide book which shows the routes, daily stages and accommodations through Brittany. Some friends walked some of the stages from Abbaye de Beauport last September and would highly recommend the route. It is very well sign posted.
