[QUOTE="gittiharre, post: 1088954, member: 3568"] Having walked the Le Puy Route x 3, I think Michael's suggestions are really great. I would start in Le Puy. It is a beautiful town, make sure you are there for the Saturday Market. It is fantastic. I usually stay with Mme Decheaux at Logis Meymard just around the corner from the tourist office. She is an artist, historian, sculptor, former pilgrim and made the giant wood sculptures you see around the town. She has 3 rooms available and makes a wonderful bfast. The pilgrim mass in the Cathedral is lovely, complete with blessing and walking down the Cathedral steps and taking in the wide distant view is an amazing start to the pilgrimage. If you are looking for an intense pilgrim experience, that is it. The landscape and villages from Le Puy on are stunning. I adored the Cele variant, but hardly met anyone. It is hard to get a feel for a pilgrimage in a few days. To me the sense of departure and sense of arrival is really important. If you depart in Le Puy, you fully get that sense. You won't really get a full sense of arrival anywhere, as the ultimate destination is Santiago de Compostela... By the way. You MUST book well ahead. This route has relatively limited beds and has become increasingly popular and is often booked out by groups. I have heard accounts of people having to taxi 15 km off route to find accommodation.
