This question may be in the wrong area, but as a precursor of the Via Tolosana, I’m wondering if anybody following the Arles threads has walked the Via Aurelia (GR 653A) from Aix to Arles. If so, I’m interested in finding out stages, distances, and availability of gites (is there a guidebook?) but more importantly, general impressions of that stretch.
I’m thinking about (or perhaps even planning?) a walk through southern France, possibly in April/May 2020, and have read a lot here about the challenges, beauty and solitude of the way from Arles to Somport. I’m intrigued by the thought of experiencing it firsthand. My plan is to visit my daughter in Geneva first, then get the train to Aix and start walking west from there, possibly ending in Puente la Reina, or not, depending on how it’s going.
Many thanks to any who can help me.
