The Way of St. James Tours in Summer

The trip, Walking in Ardeche, was a great experience. This area of France is truly a hidden gem. All of the hikes were well planned and our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as plants, trees and birds. The accommodations were excellent with great food and very comfortable rooms. I would highly recommend this trip.

Organised well, quality accommodation, and the fact that dinners were included most of the time was very welcome and a fun way to share food at communal tables. The app and track notes were easy to follow and worked well.

Food Lover's Camino was a great trip for enjoying both highlights of The French Camino and a wide variety of food experiences. The first two days of walking were harder than the rest of the trip. We were lucky to have glorious weather and be accompanied by the ever cheerful Jaclyn and the ever helpful Jerome. As a solo traveller it was well suited to my needs. I would strongly urge anyone joining in the future to spend the day before the trip starts in Le Puy as it is market day.

Our journey along the GR65 from Le Puy to Conques was fantastic thanks to the support of UTracks. From the pre-trip planning support to the detailed trek information, everything was organised so we only had to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other. A great trip!

Did section from St Privat to Conques and I would say it’s more beautiful and the landscapes more varied than the stage from Conques to Cahors. Guesthouses were all lovely each with character and charm but do take your own soap and shampoo as it’s not always provided. Had a wonderful time. Not too many people on the track and even fewer English speakers so my French improved very quickly.

Our trip was excellent. The accommodation was variable between hotels and chambres d’hôtes, always clean and comfortable. The Way itself is very easy to follow as it is well marked so we hardly needed a map but the information provided on the app was useful to plan the next day’s walking. Food at the accommodation was all good and baggage transfer worked very well. A great route to walk and a trip we would gladly do again and highly recommend.
