Hi all,
I'm planning to walk from Oloron Saint-Marie to Puenta la Reina from mid September this year solo. What do people think-will it be safe and are there people to meet on that route? I have done several walks alone (Spain and France) and have enough French to get by and converse but I see...
Hi all. Can anyone recommend a good, central hotel/gite in Lyon? last year I was alone and stayed in an excellent airbnb but next time there will be a group of us so we will need something bigger. Thanks!
Is the section from M to C pretty? I'm a bit short of days and was planning on taking the train from here-Moissac-to the Pays Basque but seems it might be better to skip the section from Condom. Any thoughts? I have found the route from conques to here less interesting, but that's because Le puy...
Hi all. I'm going to Le puy tomorrow from Lyon and have just found that it is not running this year from feb-august. Pretty disappointing as so any of you have raved about that train trip! Also there seem to be only two departures in the morning, unlike the two an hour many of you have said...

Thanks

Is there a reason why everyone seems to stop at Roncesvalles? Is there something particularly special about it or is it just because it is convenient?
Thanks!
Heather :P
Whew! The sleeping bag debate is huge here and I'm still confused. Sounds like a fleece liner would be nice and cozy with a silk liner inside, but, where does one get the former and are they light and compact? I've found a Vietnamese company who makes and sells silk liners cheaply but don't...
Hi all,
Can you tell me if I am right in thinking that it's possible to get accommodation along the Camino Frances for as little as 5 euros/night? This is what I'd been told and budgeting for (starting around the start of October 2012), but reading through the forum, I see a lot of places for...
