THROUGH THE VALLEY OF ROSES IN GÎTE D´ÉTAPE |
|
| Gîtes d´étap are a simple, pleasant form of accommodation. They are set up in family homes and usually consist of one or two common rooms to spend the night, with an attached bathroom and shower. As well as making your trek more comfortable, their village location provides an opportunity for closer contact with the local population. At the end of a day's walk through the Valley of Roses, arriving at any of these destinations, enjoying a welcoming cup of tea with the hosts and exploring the village in the company of local children is without a doubt one of the high points of the trip. | |
