Around 140 km long, it's a track running through the Ariège that can be walked in easy stages of more or less 20 km a day. Many family-, local- and parish-run accommodation options have opened their doors along this Ariégeoise part of the pilgrimage.

My wife and I have been exploring the various
St-James' Ways since 2001. We've walked the Piémont Pyrénées
path from August 20th to September 14th, 2010. This path is
among the nicest we've had the pleasure to walk. We've been
filled with the beauty of the landscapes, the diversity of the
tracks, either hillside with the Pyrenees mountains on our
left, or through lovely beeches and oaks. For art and
architecture lovers, this path is studded with masterpieces,
especially of Romanesque style. Pastures bording the path will
introduce walkers to magnificent herds. And Lady Nature isn't
sparing and offers various fruits (plums, walnuts,
blackberries, almonds, figs, peaches, apples, peers…). This
path of adventure wasn't much walked yet in 2010 and it'll
always be easier to find solitude there than on the
Puy-en-Velay's path! Accommodations for pilgrims were quite
well distributed along the way. We've always been welcomed,
the hosts well deserving the name! |

Thank you from the heart for this beautiful and cosy, friendly welcome, in the St-James' spirit of the Way… Tonight's unexpected stop brought me rest and comfort to the soul, the mind and the body… Be deeply thanked for that. Charles "the Breton" (July 11., 2007)

Le Carlaret's station must have seen many people pass by along time, peasants, soldiers, families, etc. Today it welcomes pilgrims. Thank you! Pierre Laliberté, from Quebec (June 24., 2009) La Lampisterie! Your lights will go with us all along the way. Thank you for your warm welcome and see you undoubtfully soon.

A nice St-Francis' prayer at this lovely, comfy little house's door. A lamp-house! Three little 'lights' from this great family welcomed me; the 'spirit of the Way' is well felt here and I won't forget you! Thank you with all my heart. Bernadette from Voiron (September 1., 2012) So happy to have my 'own' little pilgrim's house! Thank you for thinking of us! Pierre (October 15., 2012) |
