Thank you @Kitsambler . In 2018, we didn't need to do that arrangement on the Gebennensis, but I did do a lot of planning ahead, as my wife was recovering from cancer and we needed certainty for accommodation.Remember that it is often possible to arrange as follows: Stay Night 1 in X, walk to Y, where gite owner picks you up or perhaps taxi, returns you to X for Night 2, then next morning drives you back to Y where you begin walking to Z.
Definitely! And my initial assessment, while waiting for the red and blue guides, is that we'll need to rely on 'accueils jacquaires', as accommodation between Geneva and Lyon is not abundant. Also walking 30+ km days is definitely not an option. Unless I walk without my darling, which I don't want to doSince that route has fewer walkers than even the Gebenensis, you are wise to plan ahead for stages.
Sounds fabulous and I am extremely interested in what you will experience. I am a fan of shortish stages too.We're in the planning stages for a walk from Geneva to Arles.
In 2018, we walked the Gebennensis, so we're looking at something different.
We intend to walk from Geneva to Lyon (red line in the map), then follow the Via Rhodana to Arles (blue line).
We were wondering if any Forum member had experienced either of these walks, and if so, would be willing to share their experience.
We have ordered the relevant guide books from the Association Rhône-Alpes, and we're eagerly waiting for them.
As we're slow walkers, we're looking at stages allowing us to walk an average of 15 to 20km a day.
Thank you!
Bon chemin !

Thank you @gittiharre . I hadn't seen this website before. I see that they walked from Geneva to Nantua in 2017, so I'll check this out.Have you come across the website Walking in France? An Australian couple have walked extensively all over.
Thank you for the recommendation, @anamcaraI know it’s your last stop but we very much enjoyed our time at L’Atelier du Midi.
Thank you Laurie! I had plenty of help when mapping the VdlPSuch great news, AJ! After all your work on the planning stages we did while in covid confinement, I am sure you will have no trouble mapping out a perfect slow pace Chemin. Very happy to hear this news, buen camino, Laurie
Thank you @snale .We walked the Le Puy to Arles in 2018 and it was one of the best caminos.
Actually, on that stretch you should be okay. See my history details below. Also, my experience with the accueils is that they are well off the track, so using a map app of some sort to regain the track is very useful (might involve the third leg of the triangle). https://kitsambler.wordpress.com/2017/07/14/14-jul-2017-geneva-to-archamps/Definitely!

Hi, my wife and I are planning a similar walk but - walking from Geneva to Gillonnay to Arles and then across to SdC. We have the yellow and blue books from the association and have planned stages per below. We have allowed some stages over 30kms but with a bit of research you would be able to shorten the distances. We also use Locus Maps in Hike mode, it is a good navigation tool that tends to keep you away from roads to help shorten days. We love the quieter ways!

G'day Suzanne,Fun! When do you plan to go? I am dreaming up a trip next Spring. I walked from Geneva to Faramans as our trip was cut short due to Covid. The Accueils Jacquaires are what make France unique. What are Locus Maps?
