      Warning for those flying in to France -- there's a strike tomorrow April 25th, which likely will NOT prevent flying in or out of the country on international flights, but is very likely to affect flights between Paris and Bayonne and other...

      I must say I never took my valuables everywhere with me, and I wasn't by any means stupid or naive - just careful and very comfortable in all the places I stayed and the people around me and trusted my instincts. I had gone expecting to have to...

      My friend who started last Monday hit a 1st snag when her backpack with all the stuff did not make Bordeaux. (yes I know she should've worn at least one outfit and that should've included the hiking shoes but no use of going there now; it is what...

      I was thinking about that too. People are too trusting and don't use them and also leave their valuables laying around. If you wouldn't leave something on a park bench don't leave it out in an albergue!

      NEVER - LIKE EVER - be separated from your valuables, even for a moment. Cargo pants with lots of pockets help. Cross torso bags, like a fanny or bum bag worn cross-body are also good. The less it looks like a woman's handbag - purse, the more...

      Reports of money missing from a few wallets at Rocanvelles this afternoon. Money was taken, but the wallets/purses were not. Police have been called. Stay safe!

      Hi Steve, You came to the right place for feedback! I find this tool very useful for "planning." https://godesalco.com/plan/frances For fun, I used your time constraints and came up with an itinerary that might work for you if you walk 20km -...

      You have a lot of good advice here, so I’ll just share my experience on the CF, which I walked in 2022, beginning Sept. 12 and arriving in Santiago Oct. 17. A bit longer than you have, but because Oct. 17 was a hard deadline, I took two taxis on...
