Credit Card @ Gîtes

[JackinAK]

So is it still the case that most gites on the Chemin Via Le Puy do not take credit cards?

Hi Jack. Some gites do but many don’t. It’s safer to assume you’ll need to pay in cash.

In column U in my accommodation spreadsheet for the Via Podiensis, you can see where credit cards are accepted: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...JgGH79Zq1DAJ_g-0cA2cAgdKDU/edit#gid=311394233

Definitely more common for gites to not take credit cards, but there are some. Note that while they might take Visa, they much more rarely accept AmEx.

We walked le Chemin de Arles from Pau south in October. Most gites cash only. Bon Chemin.

Wow…, what a super information. You put a lot of work into it. I have walked it in fall 2017 and may do it again. Very precious.

We just got off the Chemin in October. Many more than I thought accepted credit cards and we used it when we could but you should be prepared for some not to. Miam Dodo guide is probably the most up to date on that.

Dave, I mistakenly thanked the re-poster. Thank YOU Dave for this fantastically helpful list. I could write a book about how much I've learned your YOUR book and podcasts. chemin from Puy en Valey late May.
