You are welcome! It was a wonderful adventure....Thank you very much to all those who have responded!
Peterexpatkiwi - I found the same information as you did and yes I was indeed looking for something similar to MiamMiam Dodo, which now publishes ebooks as well, but unfortunately they don't cover the Via Gebennensis. I don't really want to carry a physical book around. BTW, how could you start planning a year ahead without wanting to be there immediately?!
lovingkindness - Thank you for sharing your amazing document! I have now downloaded it and am looking forward to reading it.
Suzanne A - Great to hear that one could stay at a local's home on this route with homecooked meals included!
I'd leave tomorrow if I could! Two minor issues:BTW, how could you start planning a year ahead without wanting to be there immediately?!
I have continued searching for information in French, using different search terms from what I used before and found what seems really useful: https://geneve-lepuy.chemindesaintjacques.com/reservez-vos-etapes/ Hope this helps with your research too (until you get your Yellow Guide)!@rgutena , I'm hoping to walk this route next year so have also been researching.
Yes, I have been reading that report; it is pure gold!Thanks!
Incidentally, @rgutena , I presume you have read the highly entertaining thread from @sunflowerfunk ? The first part of Max's journey is on the VG. Unfortunately it's a little slim on accommodation options - unless you like benches... .
There's a brief ( by Max's standards) overview here:
hello!Hello All! I have tried for some time without success to find information online about accommodation along the Via Gebennensis. The 'Online Guide' offered by this website doesn't cover this route. Is the Yellow Guide still the only resource for this? That book seems to be available only in hard copies, is that correct?
Also, is it always necessary to bring your own sleeping bag (i.e. not only a sleeping sheet / bag liner) to stay in the gîtes on this route? Is it very uncommon for blankets to be provided?
And does anyone know how busy this route is in August? While it may be the high season, I assume places to stay are unlikely to get booked out on the relatively quiet Via Gebennensis, but please let me know if I am wrong.
Thank you!
That's an impressive itinary @caminka . Bon chemin!hello!
I am planning to walk via gebennensis this summer too! (and then a mish-mash route south to carcassonne at least) but starting earlier then you. I have made this shorter (for me) description with all accommodations I could find online, including the 2023 update for the yellow guide which is no longer available on the ARA site, but is, IMO, invaluable to have as it lists many new private accueils and many that do not exist any longer. hope this will make your mind more at ease with planning.
I am planning to bring a tent (new for me and, boy, the extra weight is making me rething and repack everything else) and hopefully use it too!
Oh my goodness, this is incredible!!! Thanks a million for sharing!hello!

Thank you, maybe a bit.That's an impressive itinary @caminka . Bon chemin!
Of course. Although, now that I am rereading it, I am finding lots of typos!Oh my goodness, this is incredible!!! Thanks a million for sharing!And bon chemin!
