Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public pilgrim listing (Gronze.com) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Most gîtes open only from about April to October and expect a booking: call a day or two ahead, earlier in May, June and September. Domaine du Sauvage has a single gîte, and small villages such as Lascabanes, Aroue and Ostabat have only a few beds.
