Santiago to Rome (Part 2)

[jsalt]

In Feb-Apr 2019 I walked from Santiago in reverse on the CF, onto the Aragones, and over the Somport Pass into France, and as far as Castres on the Camino d'Arles towards Rome.

Over 5 years ago, where has the time gone?!

Just wondering about going back to Castres and carrying on. I'm older now, not so fit, have slowed down.

But I think I can do it, at least as far as Arles, as there are gites all the way, which is fantastic as I can't afford to stay in hotels in France.

Anybody else walked this recently? Any tips? Should I pre-book the gites in, say, October time?

Thanks for any thoughts you may have. Jill

I did Genova - Arles 2018 and Arles - Puente la Reina 2022. You may look at my blog if you want. I would recommend the miam-miam-dodo

Bonjour @jsalt

There are local families, individuals and religious communities between Arles and Castres who welcome pilgrims into their homes. They are listed on Webcompostelle. The latest pdf is for 2023.

Happy planning!
