Voie d'Arles

[StephenT]

Bonjour

I am looking at the Chemin d'Arles from Toulouse, then continuing on the Aragones from Somport

I have the MMDD guide and some great Forum information (- thanks Ivar), but can anyone recommend a helpful app which would be of assistance over that route ?

I have had a check on a couple of websites, and this route doesnt seem to be covered

Merci

Hi Stephen

Neil from Australia here. We will also leave from Toulouse, but go via Lourdes and SJPP.

I have the Buen Camino app, which covers the Chemin d'Arles amongst many others. I'm yet to use it on the road, so no idea of accuracy etc. The 'index of localities' screen does say "Do not download. Old guide.", so there's that.

Cheers

As well as the MMDD guide, I had this one, but I see it is out of stock now…
Buen Camino apps are usually very good but I didn’t have it for that particular camino.
This one is good (useful maps) but it’s all in French https://www.chemin-compostelle.fr/boutique/france/chemin-arles/

I recommend mapy.cz which is a map app with all the GR and camino routes, in France at least. Download the app and as an example, search for Léguevin (small town west of Toulouse). Zoom in and you will see which of the dark red lines is the Voie d'Arles.

There's also Gronze.com for accommodation, but I consult it on a web browser, not in the app.

I'm not the OP, but thank you for your comment. I had already dowloaded mapy.cz, but was a bit lost finding trails on their website to download. Your comment makes me realise it is a lot simpler than that!

Interesting you used Léguevin as an example btw. Gronze has a bit of a whinge in the description of the Léguevin - Giscaro stage, regarding the GR route and their tendency to take pointless diversions. (Regular hikers have different priorities from pilgrims. Who'd have thought! ) Gronze follows the Jacobean route, whilst showing the GR route. I notice mapy.cz uses just the GR route.

AlpineQuest is a great app and worth the few $$$ for the full version.
You'll find a map layer with every single hiking/camino trail in Spain you can superimpose on googlemaps along with a topographical map.
I couldn't get lost if I tried
