Dive into a unique walking tour on this 7-day self-guided pilgrimage from Lectoure to Aire-sur-l’Adour on the Le Puy Camino in southern France.

The Le Puy Camino, also known as the Via Podiensis, is a section of the famous Camino de Santiago in France, leading thousands of pilgrims each year on an unforgettable journey.

Beginning in Lectoure, the tour unfolds across the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Occitanie region, guiding walkers from the rolling hills of Lomagne into the vast countryside, bound for the market town of Aire-sur-l’Adour. The route begins with a crossing of the river Ger and continues through enchanting woodlands to La Romieu. Then on to the Armagnac department where the world-famous brandy is produced, you’ll walk to Condom surrounded by sprawling vineyards. Up next, you’ll take in the colourful history of Montréal-du-Gers, home to the largest Armagnac vineyard, where a brandy tasting (or two!) comes highly recommended. Then, navigate scenic trails to Eauze via several charming small hamlets before a final walk to Aire-sur-l’Adour, where your pilgrimage ends.

The Le Puy Camino is full of authentic encounters with French culture, history, and its dazzling natural landscapes. Experience a side of France few get to witness. Book your spot on the Le Puy Camino and embark on your very own pilgrimage in southern France!

I’ve never been on pilgrimage! What is different about this type of walking tour?

A pilgrimage is when someone embarks into an unknown place, sometimes in search of personal transformation or to connect with nature. Some pilgrimages are closely aligned with major religions, and others are more about taking on a new challenge and enjoying a new experience. There are several famous pilgrims’ routes that have been used for thousands of years, often with a sacred site as the destination. Some of the world’s most famous pilgrimages are The Way of St James (France and Spain), Sanctuary of Atotonilco (Mexico), and Mount Kailash (Tibet).

Self-guided travelling is not difficult! For many, it is a preferred type of travel as you are in charge of your own time and pace. You are provided all the information on which direction you need to go daily. However, self-guided travelling requires good navigation skills and those who don’t feel confident in unknown places should consider booking guided tours.
