Hi Gesha. I have walked this route in 2015, in fact I started in Brussels. From Paris you would have to head for the 'Voie de Tours', the Tours route. The first thing you will have to decide is if you want to travel by Chartres or via Orleans - we went by Orleans.I’m looking for a guide book & maps in English language for walk from Paris to St John Pied de Port.

Hi Gesha. I have walked this route in 2015. So I have a few bits and pieces. Once you get to Tours, it's simple. Plenty of guides on the Tours way. Before that you will have to decide on leaving Paris, whether you go by Orleans or Chartres. Both are possible.

Thanks Arch, they walked from Paris on the first day, then took the train. I can see that that may be an option.It's not a guide book but might beof interest to you https://books.google.com/books/abou...EIC&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button
Thank you so much for all this info. It’s been very helpful. I’ve managed to borrow some books off Janet in Adelaide and have now ordered two of my own. I’ll try to walk out of Paris and use the French guides as well as google maps. Janet suggested via Chartres would be a good option which I’m still considering. Once again this forum & the way has provided xxGesha,
Happy New Year/Bonne Année!

Happy planning, good luck and Bon chemin!
Thanks Jodi, although the mention that it’s possible to walk from Paris, I think this book only gives information from St John to Santiago.
