Merci @Felipe !The good people of ACIR Compostelle (Clémence Isaure street 4, Metro Esquirol, Toulouse) have valuable info about this way, especially albergues. You can ask it to be sent (free) to your email. Just follow the "Demandez note documentacion" yellow button.
Bon chemin!
Try and spend a night at the restored monastery of Tarastaix on your way to Lourdes (a day's walk before you get to Lourdes). Ideally, spend the Sunday there.Only doing a short section of the Via Tolosana with a detour to Lourdes. But very excited as I’ve just booked the flight for.... 4 April!!! Not long to go!
I’m so excited I had to share!
It is roughly the distance between o’Cebreiro and Santiago so it fits in with the little time I had around the Easter holiday. It will also tell me if I am fit to walk some more as I’ve had a few worries health-wise recently
If it all goes well I may start from Arles in the Summer.... We’ll see.
I’ll keep you posted.
Noted, thank you.Try and spend a night at the restored monastery of Tarastaix on your way to Lourdes (a day's walk before you get to Lourdes). Ideally, spend the Sunday there.
And......you may live to eat your words. Walking in April is wonderful!
Accommodation: Apart from a hotel in Toulouse and in Lourdes, I stayed in pilgrim gîtes. Excellent, I thought. From donativo to 10, 15 or 20 euros. 30 when a meal was available. (I can give details of places if interested).
Planning to start again from Maubourguet and finish in Puente la Reina next time.
I was considering staying at ‘La Ruche’ but I also wanted to go to Mass the following morning (Palm Sunday) and be able to leave my rucksack at the hotel and not be rushed... They probably would have let me leave it at the albergue, I don’t know.I’ll be in Lourdes two weeks from now, but coming west to east. Curious as to why you did not stay at the pilgrim’s albergue there? We are debating there versus a hotel as it’s our final stop.
I'd be interested in hearing about the gites - any that were extraordinarily great? I'm guessing from your last comment that you cut down right after Maubourguet to get to Lourdes rather than going to Oloron and then connecting to Pinemont to get to Lourdes? If so, did you stay at the monastery in Tarasteix?
