    Arles Vs Geneva Route+Stevenson

    The Stevenson is really beautiful, great food and moderately challenging except last stage into Alés, we never thought we'd get off that mountain (btw, I was 73 on that hike). The fun just got started in Alés as we jumped on the GR700 and finally the GR42 to the Mediterranean. Take the bus to...

    Trouble with Accommodation along the Via Podiensis

    Hi, some places required a deposit. Some prices reflect the entire or balance of fees due. Most figures are cost divided by the 5 of us, which included many times: linens, towels, washer/dryer, dinner, breakfast and picnic lunch. In Navarrenx we stayed at a nice hotel which was totally worth it...

    Trouble with Accommodation along the Via Podiensis

    We walked in 2021, took the Cele variant. These are the accommodations we stayed at, all very charming with full service amenities including awesome meals.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking from Le Puy - after a rocky (anxious) start!

    This was our trip last year with a side to Rocamadour and the Célé variant which is highly recommended. Michelin and MMD have great guides with stages and maps

    Just got back home from the Primitivo

    ...been there, done that, you're so right! Ya gotta sit on the wiggly rock too. Go past the beach below and your journey will take you up past Las Piedra Santas on your way to the Cape Finisterre lighthouse.

    Book. Off The Road by Jack Hitt

    Thank you James for those great quotes! I'm always amazed how many people don't credit Jack Hitt for the inspiration behind "The Way". I love the fact he (Jack) went back again with his teenaged daughters. And thank you also for remembering Anthony Bourdain ...one of my all time favorite people.

    Le Puy Camino or Northern Camino

    My pals (aged 70+) and I just came back from The Célé Valley, GR651 variant out from Figeac and it was awesome, A couple days in Rocamadour was also super cool, take train north from Figeac, get off and hike 5 miles into town. In 2019 I found Llanes to be a wonderful surprise, wish my daughter...

    French Camino movie - Saint Jacques la Mecque

    Hi Faye, is there any way to get the English subtitled version formatted for US DVD players. I've seen it marketed on eBay but they're all European format with German subtitles. Unfortunately, Netflix has a listing for the film but not for US audiences. Thanks Bill

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Podiensis

    Simply brilliant @Aurigny, I enjoyed every word of your adventure. I've shared with my fellow travelers as we prepare to leave for Paris and then on to Le Puy at the end of the month. Your updates on the Sanitary Pass have prompted us to research and find here in North Carolina we can obtain a...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Podiensis

    Finally catching up with your earlier posts. This is also where we've booked 2 nights to de-compress from flights and start our travels 0n 9/3. Seems convenient being right on the GR65, and only 5 minutes to the cathedral. I read one review that commented on train traffic noise from the bridge...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Podiensis

    @Aurigny ...there's so much intel here, I'll be playing a lot of catch-up to get up to date. As all have said before, thanks for your time writing the, as we say, "boots-on-the-ground" commentary. My friends and I are starting Sept 1st out of Le Puy with mapped out stages getting us into SJPP by...

    Bag Transport ?

    Good luck on your start tomorrow AHS! My friends and I arrive in Le Puy on Sept 1st to start for SJPP. We'll be taking the Cele Valley variant as part of the journey from Figeac to Cahors. The 2 transport options are great info, my questions are which one best serves the "variant" and not having...
