Starting from Arles the end of March

[Buitenbeentje]

Next week I will travel (by train) to Arles. Probably gonna stay in the city for a few days to do some sightseeing. So will start walking le chemin d'Arles around the weekend of 23, 24 March.
I'm curious if there gonna be any other pelgrims on the trail around that time?

My wife and I will be starting from Oloron on May 21, but you'll be long gone by then. Be sure to stay at the monastery in Sarrance!

I've been interested in that route for some time, and would be very grateful to know how it goes, what accommodation is available this early in the season, and how long it takes. I start from St. Jean on 1st April, but slowly, so you might overtake me at some point.

Probably I hike/walk caminos a bit different than most pelgrims, because I (wild)camp most of the nights. So I'm not dependend on the availability of accomadation under a roof. Especially in France there are many official camping sites, and if not, faire du bivouac has never been a problem.
In the thousands of kilometers and hundreds of nights I walked, I never once made a reservation and always found a place to sleep.
But I understand if for some people that's maybe a bit too adventurous. It's just the way I like to do it.

Enjoy ! I love this route and recommend the alternate route by Le Petit Rhône when leaving the city.

I am thinking of walking that route after Santiago.

I'll be starting from Oloron a week ahead of you on the 14th.

I plan to leave Arles to walk the chemin d’Arles on the 8th April so you will be about 2 weeks in front of me. I’ll be going fairly slow initially so I don’t think we will meet, but you never know.
I also will have a tent so I can stop when my legs tell me they have had enough walking for the day.
Buen Camino
