Le Puy Accommodations

[Marijane]

Hello,
I am very excited for my first Camino!
My daughter and I arrive in Le Puy mid July. It was recommend to me to acquire the MiamMiam once I arrive and there I will find a complete list of current accommodations for along the route. I was going to book something affordable in Le-Puy for one night, then we set off on our walk with plans to book Gites a day or two in advance depending on how we fair with distances. I would like our stay in Le-Puy to have a bit of a taste for the camino atmosphere. Wondering if we can book in a Gites if we are just starting the journey or if that is frowned upon. Either way if you have a suggestions for a lovely place to stay would love to hear about it. Also would love some suggestions for places to explore in Le-Puy as we arrive mid-afternoon, giving plenty of time for experiencing the town. We love food as well so any suggestions of delish meals would be lovely!

Many Thanks in advance!

It is at the departure end of the city on the Chemin.

Booking.com is a good source.

If you want to get an atmospheric taste of a camino, try the Grand Seminaire St. Georges, behind the cathedral. Simple. They serve a basic communal dinner featuring the famous Le Puy lentils. Places to see - St. Michael the Archangel's chapel and the Virgin statue and the cathedral. You can buy your MiamMiam in the cathedral store. If you can stay up late enough, the city puts on a free light show in the evening.There are cafes at the foot of the cathedral. A small one about halfway up on the left side had incredible salads. For a dinner treat, try the 5eme Saison. Bon chemin!
