The Way of St. James Walking Trips

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.

The walk was very satisfying. It was tougher than we expected however. Especially the Le Monastier to Le Bouchet. The app worked well for the most part. I would say all accommodation was good with the exception of one where the hotel room was very small and the staff not that helpful.

A great foodies walk with interesting side excursions. We loved it for all the above and also because we are seniors and the walks were suitable for us oldies with options for the minibus on longer stretches. The guide and driver were great and we would highly recommend the trip to all.

I walked Conques to Lectoure and found it to have been organised to all we wanted. It was good to know local experts were available to help with difficulties. Part of the track was closed and they advised on alternative options. Most of the accommodation was at family homes or gites which came as a surprise but added to rhe cultural mix, enabling me to speak to locals and other pilgrims.
