Last Minute Discovery-

[scruffy1]

I plan to walk from Auxerre using a combination of the Topoguide and the Itineraire of Monique Chassain-both are very good both have defects-the Itineraire is dated and the Topoguide sends one off on sepertine routes through mud and muck, around the corner and through the woods leading nowhere all in order to avoid 750 merters on a road. Yesterday I discovered this:

put up by the Association des Amis et Pelerins de Saint-Jacques et d'Etudes Compostellanes du Limousin Perigord and including the route distances lodging etc. The site has an English introduction but otherwise all French-no problem for phone numbers and addresses or distances. From my desk here in Jerusalem it looks marvelous will check it out next month in the real world.

Thanks for the additional Limosin Perigord info ! By the way if you need a place to stay in Auxerre I highly recommend the Maison des Randonneurs. They offer pleasant dorm accommodations for hikers as well as breakfast. I stayed there in 2008 on my unsuccessful winter attempt to walk direct from our farm in Champagne to SJPdP via Vezelay.
