    Geneva to Le Puy en Velay (Via Gebennensis)

    We took the GR65 (Via Gebennensis) over La Cote-St-Andre and Chavanay (350km). There is also another route over St-Antoine and St Agreve (383km). Yellow guide book shows GR65 route, Green guide book shows 2nd route. I hope this helps.

I also don't know what the name of the bookshop is, I walked towards the old town and found it. Ask for the "Libraire" (that...

    Geneva to Le Puy en Velay (Via Gebennensis)

    Information so far: Yellow guide of L'Association Rhone-Alpes design Amis de Saint Jacqueline is very good. It gives you distances, topography, addresses for accommodation. You can buy it in Geneva, there's a Librairie (book shop) over bridge towards the old town that sells the guides. When...

    Accommodation question: Accueil jacquaire - the accommodation in private homes - how much does one normally give as "donativo"?

    I'm arriving in Geneva on 13 May 2016 to begin my walk to Le Puy en Velay. I'm coming from South Africa and need some advise about the weather conditions in Geneva and France at that time of the year. Can I expect rain, sun etc. Also tips about good accommodation will be most welcome. Do a lot...

    South African Companies offering guided Caminotours?

Use a travel agent to book your flights, they can also help you with advise how to get from the airport to your starting point (train or...
