Difficulty of Le puy route
Hi. I have walked from Le Puy as far as Moissac over the last two summers and am resuming from Moissac to St Jean and onwards to Roncevalles in June 2015. I would concur with what has been said re the hilly sections and the need to walk to your limits. These sections, although not usually long...- Gammy Knees Dublin

Condom to SJPDP - logistics and tips for starting in Condom and ending in SJPDP
The section from Le Puy en Velay to Conques is a brilliant 10 day walk in superb mountains and countryside. The Aubrac is stunning. April/ early May might be too early as there may be snow about still. Figeac to Moissac through the Lot and Cele valleys is also beautiful but only 6 days. I did...- Gammy Knees Dublin

Dia is mhuire dhuit. I didn't meet any Irish person on the walk. It was predominantly French people with a splattering of Canadians and Americans, a few Belgians.

Le Puy in May
I agree regarding the knees. I am using two walking poles thanks. The caravan/campsite option suits me at 57, but you do miss out on the camaraderie of fellow walkers in the Gites. However, you will all be relieved that I am not staying in the Gites as I am a world record snorer! Ruaidhri- Gammy Knees Dublin

Le Puy in May
Hi all, I am setting off on Tuesday May 27th from Le Puy en Velay to reach either Conques or Figeac in 10 days walking. I walked from Figeac to Moissac last year and loved it! I would love to be able to get as far as Figeac in 10 days although its sounds like a tough challenge and I will...- Gammy Knees Dublin
