rom st Jean I booked the first 2 nights. Have had no problem getting a bed. Municipal are underbooked, I think because people panicked and booked privaHello
In the Camino departing from Paris, what is the albergue situation?
Is there plenty of well spaced, affordable albergues?
Are they municipal or private?
Does anyone have a list or app they could recommend?
Thanks
May I ask you for a list of your stages? A route list for this pilgrimage would be very appreciated...I walked Paris/Saint-Jean d-Angeles this past August, September. I’m an 84 YO woman traveling alone and can only go about 12 miles max each day. It was a challenge finding places at such short intervals, yet somehow I did it. MMDD is a huge help. And the advice from Threewishes above about the associations is excellent. (At one point, I was “passed along” from one place to another via the friendships of the hostelliers. THAT was really great.). Be mindful that Mairies are usually not open weekends, Mondays, and holidays. Also, many in the smaller villages are open only half days—some in the mournings and some in the afternoons.
Knowing how to really use your cell phone is helpful and a good smattering of French is very convenient for understanding.
There should be some in Gascony, dependent of course on which variant route you choose across and after the Garonne/Gironde river(s).No Albergues.
