[QUOTE="jouffroy47, post: 1177419, member: 37455"] The Le Puy route is about 1/10 as busy as the Francés in Spain, but has much less infrastructure. Gîtes d étape hold about 10-12 people and there are a lot fewer of them along this route, although it is the most walked of the French camino routes. Statistics are anecdotal as most walkers are French or francophone and are only walking for a week or two at a time. They may takes several years to complete the walk and many only walk from Le Puy to Conques, as the latter is a destination in itself. May is the month with the most holidays and the French like to bridge the holidays, hence the extreme business. The feedback from gîte owners is that May, followed by September, are the busiest months. The season starts in April and ends mid-October. After that seasonal gîtes and restaurants and bag transport services close for the season. It can be too hot to walk in July and August. It has gotten busier post-pandemic. As the French tend to book--at least a day or two in advance booking is recommended, even further out for the first few days out of Le Puy-en-Velay. The gîte owners tend not to want to take reservations too far out [they want to make sure that people are not double-booking and are going to show up] and prefer that they be done by phone. There are few restaurants and places to eat,, especially in the smaller villages, so taking the demi-pension is recommended. If you opt for the demi-pension, your host will need to know in advance for planning purposes. France is definitely not like Spain. [/QUOTE]
