    Bag transport on the Le Puy route

    Although the La Malle Postale website is in French, I noted in a Le Puy tourist board guide that they (La Malle Postale) operate in several languages including English, so they also should be able to answer any questions you have. They have a shop in Le Puy too. Cheers, Ellie

Sounds like others have given you some good leads. I’m setting off from Le Puy on 9 September but only doing 10 days’ walking. Keep us posted of...
