    Chemin de St Guilhem

    Anyone has done this? Are the gites safe as regards Covid? Do they ask for the Pass Sanitaire which would make sharing a dormitory safer? Planning on going in Sept/Oct.

    Vezelay Spring 2019

    Is there a sport shop in a central area in Vezelay from where I can buy trekking poles before I start off? I plan on taking just cabin baggage and not checked in bag while flying out, so, I cannot take my trekking poles in my cabin baggage,.

    Newbie needs some help to start camino from South France

    I have walked from Toulouse along the Chemin d'Arles route towards Pau, then just before Pau, at Maubourguet, i branched off to Lourdes and from there joined the Chemin Piemontese towards the Samport Pass across the Pyrenees. Lovely route but not many walkers en route. In France you sleep at...

    Sudocrem vs Vaseline

    The vaselin gets absorbed as you walk, so there is hardly any trace of it on your sock by the time you take it off at the end of the walk. A simple wash is enough.

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    Hi edandjoan. Yes, I did walk the whole way and did not skip a day.

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    I am sorry you had such an experience. I walked the EPW this summer starting early June and I found that the guidebook instructions were for the most part spot on. I only got 'lost' on one occasion. A couple of times, it was only through my inattention that I missed a red arrow, and I simply...

    Hi all, I'm planning on following the Le Puy -Roncevaux route in September. What rucksack would you advise? Would a 35 litre rucksack suffice? Marie Louise
