    Please help: in le Puy with no shoes

    Okay everyone here's an update. I so appreciate the responses to my siren call. It took the whole dang day but I found salomon trail runners that will do the trick. I have some neuropathy in my feet which makes me miserable in a hard pan heavy shoe. And boots just don't agree with me. I'm...

    Please help: in le Puy with no shoes

    Yes I know fedex, but I don't know how to negotiate that in French. I was tempted to order from amazon and have them shipped to general delivery in a town down the road a ways. I even engaged a local to help me with it. I came away with the impression that there's a lot less institutionalized...

    I'm also in the last few days here. Leaving California and arriving in Lyon May 2. Will arrive in Le Puy to spend two nights on May 4 and 5 and start walking on the 6th. I wonder if I will be impatient to start walking earlier. I thought i had it all together. It's startling how many things...

    Looking for backpack accessory pouch

    Hi all, I've been looking for a lightweight pouch big enough for sunglasses and phone to hang from carabiner or other fastening device from the shoulder straps of a rucksack. The main utility here is that i figured i could listen to french language lessons once or twice a day from my IPhone...

    Sundays in the Le Puy

    Hello everyone, I'll be arriving in Le Puy May 3rd, a Saturday afternoon/evening. I'm planning on staying two nights to put an extra day between the walk and the plane travel. So that means my first whole day in le Puy is Sunday. I'm concerned that I won't find much open. Is that true? Will...

    Hotel recommendation in Lyon (en route to Le Puy)

    Hello all, I am taking the train from CDG to Lyon and thought I would stay there for the night. Does anyone have a hotel recommendation? Is it worth it to stop here? I figured it might be a good idea since I will have traveled from California and I may be a bit wonked. I'll be arriving...

    French Sim Cards for Le Puy Route

    So where is a good place to shop for these SIM cards? I'm flying into Paris but would rather not have to negotiate that city in search of phone accessories. What about Lyon or Le Puy? Does anyone have first hand experience buying SIMs for Orange or SFR or ?? Thanks!
