[QUOTE="Deleted member 3000, post: 227523"] Opinions are never wrong. They are just assertions of one's conclusions, so it is useful to hear the opinion of dedicated hikers. I conclude from comments in the Forum that the facts on crowding are that it is sporadic and tied to holidays and days of the week. That certainly is my factual experience. Whether that makes it "too busy" is a conclusion each of us gets to make. As to touristy, villages are shutting down, not turning into antique malls. Towns that had four bakeries may have only one now (or none). If the donkey people are saying that French hikers are showing up more, that may be factually correct. France has tens of thousands of GR walking routes, and the French head for them every available minute. The Le Puy route is just one of thousands of routes to walk (and they are all marked the same, so the red and white [I]balise[/I] require some interpretation). There is something vaguely condescending about labeling them tourists while someone with a donkey from Luxembourg claims the title of pilgrim. Facilities are more limited on the Via Le Puy than the Camino Frances, so at busy times, accommodations are more difficult to find. The system in France is to call ahead to find a bed. When you do, it will be waiting for you. If you don't, you may have to wander around town or move on to find one. It is different, not worse!:) [/QUOTE]
