[QUOTE="Antonius Vaessen, post: 1080117, member: 63898"] I walked the Le Puy last year and agree with most comments. A few remarks. The big majority of walkers are French ( for instance in the big albergue in the monastery of Conques, I was the only not French speaking out of at least 80 people) I speak some french, enough to manage in individual talks or in small groups. At dinners It became difficult most of the times, when I lost the "thread" of a conversation, it was hard to find it again. It took me some time to discover the best strategy when having dinners at those long tables : get there in time so you can secure yourself a place on or near a corner, that way you won't get "lost in different conversations" It was not my experience that the French people "excluded" me, it is just the situation. In small groups they tried to include me more. In other posts the Miam Miam Dodo guide is mentioned. I would advise to buy the digital version but than you must be sure to walk within a year or at least download the information. After a year it "Expires". I bought it just before covid, and could not use it anymore when travelling became possible again. So I bought the paper version. I must say I did not like it very much ( when on the road). It has lots of information, too much sometimes. The maps are many and detailed, if at some, very few, times I wanted to know where I was, it was not easy to find. The GR markings were very good the information on sites like Gronze on accomodation but also on possible problems concerning possible "routeproblems" was more than enough for me. After a week or so I gave the books away. Concerning the difficulties it is indeed comparable with the Primitivo. Someone said that the Hospitalesroute there was more difficult than anything on the Le Puy. I found the climb out of Conques a lot harder, albeit shorter [/QUOTE]
