10 Days on Camino Le Puy - which section should we walk?

[DugganMi]

Hello - my wife and I only have 10 days in July to walk the CLP, which segments would you recommend. We prefer small villages over big urbain centres and would like to walk an average of about 25K/day. Last year we walked the CF from Leon to SDC.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Easy answer, start in Le Puy and aim for Figeac. I am 8 days into my walk and have just reached Conques. If you want to see pictures of my progress I'm blogging my journey on www.gavineyre.com

Now that sounds like a plan, would you have any accomodations to recommend or to avoid?

would you have any accomodations to recommend

Purchase a Miam Miam Dodo, and look at the choices. I pretty much stay in the gite d'etape facilities, but have found some very nice private gites and chambres d'hote. MMD will tell you which ones have English, if that is important to you.

This isn't from personal knowledge, but my french buddies on the Camino say avoid Decazeville. We've all booked in at the Bio Gite la Vita e Bella 4 kms further in Livinac le-Haut.

Hi Gavin! I'm enjoying your blog and it's bringing back lots of great memories from last September. You will like Bio Gite in Livinhac - the owner, Andreas is such a nice man, and while he was cooking us a delicious pasta dinner, he had wonderful music playing in the kitchen. We also avoided Decazeville and from comments we heard from other pilgrims, it was a good decision!
Bon Chemin!

avoid Decazeville

Les Volets Bleu is very nice; cook your own food.

Absolutely - Le Puy to Figeac in a heartbeat!

Le Puy to as far as you can go...

I would recommend staying in Conques as there is a special service in the Abbey in the evening. When we were there in 2012, one of the monks also performed a re-enactment of the death of St Foy after dinner, outside the Abbey. He also explained the symbols on the door. It was a wonderful evening and ended with a sound and light show in the Abbey to the sound of "the House of the Rising Sun" on the organ!!
