You can walk the Via Francigena across France and then take a right turn were it meets the Camino de Santiago.Has anyone walked from northern France and joined into the traditional routes? What was it like? How was the way before you reached the official path?
I’m a pilgrim who’s walked the Northern, French and Portuguese route and through that developed a love of hiking. I’m planning a walk from England to Spain, perhaps continuing to Morocco. It’s not a Camino, in as much that I likely won’t finish at Santiago at least, but I can think of few people better than my fellow pilgrims to help me out!
There is no infrastructure that would be comparable to the camino routes in Spain.Has anyone walked from northern France and joined into the traditional routes? What was it like?

I'm getting excited for you ☺. I personally like this idea of starting from home and then following a direction that feels natural. So Horsham - Newhaven - Dieppe - Rouen (there seems to be a trail from Dieppe), then perhaps along the river Seine until you hit the next trail shown on the map and then down to Chartres?I'd be starting in Horsham, West Sussex so Newhaven or Southampton seem like the most sensible crossing points. Perhaps the Voie de Tours, but avoding Paris at the start, will be a good route to follow.
hi moysey, im looking to walk from home to the channel and then to dieppe, what info could you help me with?Hello everyone!
I've mapped out a pretty rough route that I'm hoping to follow now. I'll be crossing Newhaven-Dieppe, winding down to Bordeaux then following the Camino del Norte before switching to the Via de la Plata.
I've written a short blog post too in case anyone has too much time on their hands and wants something to read!
