Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
The trail between Montpellier and Beziers is still a work in progress, from what I gather. The blogs which I have read indicate it is doable but problematic. In 2013 I walked in the opposite direction from Carcassonne to Montpellier following canals, passing through vineyards then along roads. I didn't have a copy of the LePere guide.
ACIR are responsible for les Chemins de St Jacques in the south of France. You might contact them for advice. https://www.chemins-compostelle.com/
An alternative trail: follow le Voie d'Arles from Montpellier to St Gervais sur Mare; from St Gervais sur Mare take the GR 78.7 to Capestang then follow le Canal du Midi to Carcassonne. http://www.xacobeo.fr/ZE1.11.Lan.Fontcaude_ACIR.pdf

Has anyone, here, hiked the GR78.1 from Capestang to Carcassonne?

The waymarking from Montpellier to Castres is a bit patchy, and it does tend to go quite pointlessly around some village centres (taking a roundabout tarmac road instead of the one going into the pueblo that's always been on the Camino, really ??) -- but having said that, it's basically a really easy route with multiple possible variants all headed in the same direction over similar terrain on that particular section, so there's no point worrying about getting lost.
