After years of walking the Basque Camino, the Red Monkey guides are following the call to offer a pilgrimage starting farther along the traditional route. We will be hiking from the sacred Black Madonna city of Le Puy-en-Velay to Conques, France.

Be nourished by the French countryside and return to your own rhythms along this unforgettable section of the Camino. Pilgrims will be pampered by the warmth of nature during the day and in our incredible accommodations at night.

You’ll begin your walking meditation in Lyon, France’s second largest city.  After an introductory dinner and night resting in our 4-star hotel, we head to our first day of walking along the Loire Valley. Our next 10 days will increase in difficulty, as we wind through volcanic mountain valleys, medieval villages, and pasture land. This is considered one of the most beautiful sections of the French Camino.

Please note: With slightly longer distances, no rest day, and French instruction, this is considered the more "advanced" pilgrimage trip.

Feel free to talk with us to figure out which is the best trip for you!
