The Way reaching Le Puy is passing by Lyon( approx.one week), in front of the St Nizier church, then passing near the Basillique de Fouviere. If you have some time, you can find the shells on the ground up there! Every way goes to Santiago apparently!
Bon Chemin!

Tip : In SJPP, go in the Pilgrim shop. Buy some Clako (http://www.clako-punaises.com/fr/). It is a french spray against bed bugs, mosquitos, etc. Totally bio... then a little expensive (13€) but honestly, your mind will be free and to me, it's priceless... :-)
