Frances, autumn/winter; 2004, 2005-2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
I'm really starting to panic a bit. I'm flying into Lyon in mid-June to start from Le Puy. Keep looking at the SNCF website for trains. Nothing shown. Help??

See what I wrote in this thread earlier this morning.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

the Frances, and Finisterre and Muxia (summer, 2012). Will walk from Le Puy to SJPP (summer, 2014)
I will be walking the Le puy route starting end July and have the same question about getting from Lyon to Le Puy. There are supposedly several trains a day (read that in this forum and also found that on one of the train sites, but can`t remember which one, sorry), but on the sncf site (I went to two of them given in this thread) only the train at 12:06 is given. Can anyone explain this discrepancy? So, me too . . . help?? I am reassured by the comment that a reservation is not needed.

I don't know what you are doing to get the response with only one train.

SNCF site can be confusing. Sometimes it will send you to a site intended for sales to overseas customers. If you are not getting the sites as listed below try clearing the cookies from your browser. If there is ever a drop down list asking where you are tell them you are in France.

Here is what the website should look like:

SNCF I.JPG

Click the 'billets & info trajets'

SNCF II.JPG

Click the 'Horaires & Reservation'

SNCF III.JPG

Enter 'Lyon Part-Dieu' (depart) and 'Le Puy-en-Velay' (arrivee) and date of travel.

Click 'Recherche'

That will render a schedule of several trains:
