Is it really necessary to reserve the gites in France or is it ok just to arrive?
I'm mainly referring to stages from Lourdes - Orolon Sainte Marie- Somport and before end of October

We just completed this trip from Oloron to Obanos. We booked all our stays in France: the Metairie in Eysus, the monastery in Sarrance, L’Aire d’Aspe in Accous, and the pilgrim hostel in Urdos. After that, in Spain, we did not book ahead.

Call to find out if they are open and have not closed for the season. On the Podiensis we found fewer and fewer options after October 15th. Not sure if it's the same for that area.
