Gilles Cart-Lamy set off from Szombathely on 22 March to cover the 2500 km route to Tours. His plan was a success. After an average of 32 kilometres a day, he arrived in Tours on 11 June. There, he was welcomed by Antoine Selosse, Director of the Saint Martin's Cultural Centre in France, and his French friends of Via Sancti Martini. Among them were Robert Diemer and Robert Guron, who made the same journey last year.
