The Regordane or St Gilles Way in Auvergne and Languedoc (GR700), is originally a medieval pilgrimage route. It runs from Saint Gilles to Le Puy en Velay.
The FFRP created a marked hiking route using the old way, and printed a topoguide.
This way is an attractive alternative route to Santiago de Compostela. The normal way to the apostle's city is the GR65 to Ostabat.

Winter on the GR700
- Can anyone advise the conditions (snow, ice etc) on the trail in January and if accommodation is available out of season?
- Henk Nouws 2012-09-05 21:15:41
- David, the risk of snow in this area should be taken serious, because it is at high altitude >800 m. In other regions in France - not particularly this region - the gîtes and hotels were indeed closed out of season. But if you need a good advice, you should contact the people at Regordane Info; check the link on this page.

- Many thanks Henk. I have asked the same question of Regordane Info but I think your answer tells me enough that it might not be possible at this time. Perhaps one for springtime. David
