Discover The Arles Way

The Voie d'Arles is another legendary route leading to Santiago de Compostela. Also known as the Via Tolosana, it historically connected the paths coming from Italy and Spain. It is a succession of historic sites and exceptional landscapes.

 

IMPORTANT: We provide transportation services between Arles and La Salvetat-sur-Agout.

 

 

Starting from Arles

This itinerary will take you from the Mediterranean to the Haut Languedoc mountains, from Arles to La Salvetat-sur-Agout. You will depart from the fabulous city of Arles, a city of history and culture, renowned for its historic center and most of all its Roman amphitheater.

 

 

The Must-See Stops

Along the way to La Salvetat-sur-Agout, you will pass through other cities with strong cultural identities: Saint-Gilles du Gard and its abbey; Montpellier, the economic and cultural capital with its medieval streets; and Lodève, with its cathedral and larger episcopal city.

 

 

Cultural and natural experience

Encounters with history go beyond these cities. On your way, you will come across the Abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert or the Saint Michel de Grandmont Priory, a historical site in the heart of the Hérault nature.

 

The itinerary will then take you through the Causse du Larzac with its vast spaces and the Haut Languedoc Natural Park, which will surprise you with its well-preserved natural heritage.

 

 

Hike with peace of mind

To facilitate your hike on the Voie d'Arles between Arles and La Salvetat-sur-Agout, we offer luggage and people transport services. We transport luggage from one accommodation to another. This luggage transport service allows you to fully enjoy your hike. It is also essential for some people with physical issues.

 

We can also offer custom transport services for all stages. This can allow you to return to your initial starting point once your hike is over or reach a nearby train station. You can also benefit from our shuttle service on the Saint-Guilhem path and go back to Aubrac, for example.

 

This project receives support from the State under the State Territorial Intervention Program – PLAN LITTORAL 21.
