[QUOTE="Smash123, post: 1155317, member: 106578"] Indeed! I was about to make this point. Perhaps that's the difference between being on the Chemin with a decent command of French and not. I took the Rocamadour varient, and those five-ish days was the only time I heard people referred to as hikers, and where "Bon Chemin" became less used, but otherwise, the French on Le Puy are most definitely pilgrims and see themselves as such - even if they are going a week at a time. I would also echo the recommendation to go to the 7:00 Mass in Le Puy, even if it means you have to return to your gite for breakfast. An unforgettable experience. Finally, to the comment "There are some alberguestyle accomodationd, most people will stay in guesthouses with "demi pension" though" I have no idea what the poster is on about. There is a very established system of gîtes and gîtes d'étape (which require the ability to use the kitchen) along the route, many of them are dorm-type of accommodations, but you won't find dorms of 100+ beds, that's for sure. Typically a four-course meal, your bed for the night and the petit-déjeuner cost 37 euro, no idea how that compares to Spain. One thing I heard that underscores the food comparison is that pilgrims lose weight on the Camino but gain weight on the Chemin . . . :) Bon Chemin! [/QUOTE]
