Babbette & Paul's website has this message about their 'pilgrim hostel':
"Pilgrim Hostel, Arles Paul and Babette have taken their pilgrim passion one step further by opening a hostel in the centre of Arles, just 100 metres off the St James Way. They have beds for 6 people, but can squeeze in more with mattresses on the floor if necessary. Also on offer: internet and wifi access, along with a rapidly expanding Pilgrim Resource centre - books, maps and guides for a number of pilgrimage routes. Breakfast and an evening meal are provided, without charge, but donations are appreciated - 10% of which will go to support a project in Africa. Note: The hostel opens 1st June. 2011
I also contacted Renée DEBARD from the local assciation in Arles and within 10 minutes I had a reply with a long list of people to contact for beds and a map to show where most of them are. I'm going to copy it here for anyone else who might want to walk from Arles.
No, there are no accommodations Pilgrims to Arles, but receptions in families. I send you the brochure of the association where you will find the names of people who run with their email address, you'll just have to contact them. participation is about 20 to 25 euros for half board or 15 euros a night and breakfast.
