The Arles route is most definitely quieter - but it's still relatively well waymarked. Though the Le Puy route is better signposted. You will find gites comfortably enough on both routes - though more on the Le Puy route. The Le Puy route is definitely more popular - but it depends what you want. I met fellow pilgrims on both routes.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-58348249451886850732010-03-04T14:30:42.055+00:002010-03-04T14:30:42.055+00:00Carmella, both the Arles and the Le Puy routes are...Carmella, both the Arles and the Le Puy routes are lovely - I would have difficulty in recommending one above the other, but I think I would go for Le Puy - and in April/May the temperatures are warming up. I would say a great time of year to go. Of course you will need to take some light but effective rain and cold weather gear - but I wouldn't have thought heavy-duty.<br /><br />You didn't say if you were continuing over the Pyrenees - the Col du Somport and the Route Napoleon should be OK - but you never can tell. Pyrenees weather is notoriously fickle. You won't need snow boots before then however!<br /><br />Have a great time...The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-9628323950777939332010-03-04T13:51:00.768+00:002010-03-04T13:51:00.768+00:00hello! i have done the camino from st jean to sant...hello! i have done the camino from st jean to santiago in 2007 and i am currently debating between Arles and Le Put for my 2nd camoino this April. I am mostly concerned about the weather, since I dont have heavy duty rain gear or snow boots. Also, I am wondering about price differences of the two camonios and their popularity. Any info or tips you have would be greatly appreciated. <br />Many thanks, CarmellaCarmellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208743044831074032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-78027038209035743332009-03-27T18:51:00.000+00:002009-03-27T18:51:00.000+00:00Click on "My 2nd pilgrimage (Arles) starts he...Click on "My 2nd pilgrimage (Arles) starts here" in the CAMINO widget on the R. hand side of my blog. It will lead you to the first post which is called "Real Love Is A Pilgrimage". Then all you do is simply click on "Newer Post" at the foot of each post for each consecutive entry about the journey.<BR/><BR/>You will love the Arles path. I thought it wonderful and enjoyed every minute. Accommodation fine without booking ahead when I went in Sept & Oct - but you may be wise to do so a bit in summer as there are fewer gîtes than on the Le Puy route, and they usually have fewer beds.<BR/><BR/>If you want any advice or info about anything at all, please just ask.<BR/><BR/>I envy you your walk. I would do it all over again tomorrow if I could.<BR/><BR/>Bon courage! (Come prepared for overpowering heat the first few days on the Camargue - and biting insects!)<BR/><BR/>SWThe Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-30231051276179089232009-03-27T08:01:00.000+00:002009-03-27T08:01:00.000+00:00Please can you lead me to the link for your Arles ...Please can you lead me to the link for your Arles camino?
