    Le Puy to Conques October - Trip Report

    Hi Longwei, on your recommendation we stayed a night at Jean at Bisquine du Jean in Saint Come d'Olt in April. He is so jovial and kind-hearted and he prepared the best dinner ever! We had a tremendous night listening to blues and speaking Frenglish. Great recommendation...thanks!

    Leaving Le Puy in May?

    Hi Luka, I hope you are planning to blog. I am Afrikaans speaking, so your Dutch blogs are easy to follow. In August last year a friend and I walked from Cluny to Montbrison and then took a bus to Le Puy. We had the way almost to ourselves - met only 2 other pilgrims on 2 different occasions...

    Moissac to Aire-sur l'Adour

    If you happen to overnight in Miradoux, I recommend Gite d'etape Bonte Divine. The young couple did exquisite restoration of their house and the food is superb. Dolfina

    Stay in Saugues or La Clauze?

    You seem to be organized! This forum is such a wealth of information - in 2011 when I started planning I read all the posts from Kiwinomad and Gittiharre and it was tremendously helpful. The Le Puy route is stunning! Bon Chemin. (To PM, click on my Profile Picture and Start a Conversation.)

    Stay in Saugues or La Clauze?

    I live in Cape Town and you are most welcome to PM me in order to get my telephone number (if interested). I have walked Le Puy to Condom (with Rocamadour variant) and am off within 2 weeks to walk Cluny to Le Puy. Dolfina

    Detour from Figeac to Rocamadour and back to Cahors.

    I loved the route. Rocamadour to Montfaucon 20 km ; Montfaucon to Auberge Rustica 24 km ; Auberge Rustica to Cahors 22 km. Coming towards Cahors one can choose to walk along the river or a longer way to get a view of Cahors from the top. I chose the latter one and did not regret it! I did not...

    Detour from Figeac to Rocamadour and back to Cahors.

    I walked Rocamadour to Condom last year and can strongly recommend Le Clos des Roses in Montfaucon - 20 kilometers after Rocamadour. It looks like you use the free download from www.chemindecompostelle.com - it is listed on Plan 10. If you happen to stay there : the demi-pension is a good...

    can you recommend baggage carrier, Conques onward?

    Hi Irishgurrrl Both times that I have walked part of the Le Puy route, my friend used Transports Claudine and it was organised on a daily base by the gite owner. She used a strong black bin bag and an envelope with the transport money attached to the bag. Definitely not necessary for an extra...

    Le Puy accommodation

    Hi Jenny, I recommend the MMD, although it is in French. Very easy to understand. I ordered it from www.csj.org.uk - wait for the 2014 edition that (I think) will be available at the beginning of next year. You can pm me for more info (or to chat!). Dolfina

    Cele Route Option

    Hi Guy I have copied you some information from the postings on the Forum - you can find it in the section "CHECK IF YOUR QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED BEFORE" under Cele Route. Lovingkindness wrote : "I found the Cele Valley to be quite beautiful. Soaring granite cliffs tinged with apricot...

    Itinerary leaving le Puy

    Hi Lisa, I agree with Falcon about day 2. For accommodation I used the Miam Miam Dodo (you can buy it in Le Puy) and all the private gites I stayed in were very good. I took the demi-pension option (dinner, bed and breakfast) and always had hearty, wholesome meals. The following is just my...

    PILGRIM'S PASSPORT

    I second Dave. You can buy a creanciale (with a beautiful red stamp - first one) in the Cathedral's gift shop right after the mass (starting at 7 am). Besides many other things, they also have scallop shells for sale to hang on your backpack. Bonne route. Dolfina

    Moissac and Saint Pierre.

    Hi Scruffy1, I am so glad for all your feedback, because I am leaving in 4 weeks time to walk from Rocamadour to Aire-sur-l'Adour. If you can, please keep us up to date! Bonne chemin. Sunsurf

    Miam Miam Dodo Guidebook

    Hi David All the places where I stayed between Le Puy and Figeac that were recommended on this site were great! As I am planning to walk from Rocamadour to Aire-sur-l'Adour this coming June, I would like to know where you stayed in Cahors. Regards. Dolfina
