Le Puy-St Gilles GR700
Le Puy-en-Velay, Nîmes, Saint-Gilles

Route map

There is now a GR based on the Chemin de Régordane, which links Le Puy with St-Gilles. The original guidebook was by Marcel Girault, Le chemin de Régordane: Guide à l'usage des pèlerins de Saint-Gilles, and the GR700 is based on it. It was of course also used by pilgrims from the south to Le Puy. See also www.regordane.info.
See also Association des Chemins de saint Gilles, who organise regular pilgrimages along pilgrimage routes to St-Gilles.
