Customer Reviews
French Camino went smoothly. The baggage transport and accommodation could not be faulted. The owners of each house we stayed in were great hosts, not to mention excellent chefs. The walk itself was well marked and the app that they provided was very accurate. Would use them again!!!!
The walk was even better than expected. Lots of interesting things to see and places to stay. A good mix of hotels and chambre d’hote.
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.
A fantastic trip that I would recommend to anyone who has a reasonable level of fitness.
We particularly loved the first 5 days!
