Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (the GR 70 association or Tourisme Occitanie) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Most gîtes and B&Bs open from Easter to early November, and Cheylard-l'Évêque and Cassagnas have only a few beds: book each night directly, at least a week ahead, and confirm the day before.
