    Hello @rgutena In 2020 I walked from Neydens at the French-Swiss border via Le Puy-en-Velay and Albi to near Agen. I followed the Voie de Genève (GR 65) as far as Le Puy-en-Velay then other trails. In 2020 none of the pilgrim associations...

    On the contrary. I spend a bit of time near Rennes in France, and there are a couple of places I have been that have Plat du Jour menus for €15 or less. For example this place is amazing and was only €13.50 both times I went last year, as was...

    You typically will need reservations as most restaurants open for dinner at 7 and shut around 9:30. We were able to sit in the bar area if we didn't have reservations and order off the menu. We were turned away from places for lunch and dinner in...
