    Solo walking

    Thank you everyone for the fabulous feedback. My concern is not so much safety but loneliness, as one of the things I love about caminos is the people you meet and friendships made. Hmmmm, perhaps I need to find a walking buddy or choose another route this year...

    Solo walking

    Hi all, I'm planning to walk from Oloron Saint-Marie to Puenta la Reina from mid September this year solo. What do people think-will it be safe and are there people to meet on that route? I have done several walks alone (Spain and France) and have enough French to get by and converse but I see...

    Route from Oloron-Ste Marie

    Hi all, I'm going to do a wee stretch of this beautiful looking and sounding walk from Oloron to Jaca. Miam Miam lists lots of inexpensive places to stay. Does anyone have any updated info or hints about this section? I read that there is a shuttle before Somport to avoid busy traffic...

    Pilgrim arrival statistics - August 2015

    Hi all, Interesting thread. Some of you might find these photos interesting (you'll have to zoom in to see the info); I took them in early August 2014 in the pilgrims' office in SJPP. These are all the people who register at the office (most pilgrims, I would say). Keep in mind that many of...

    Accommodation in Lyon

    Hi all. Can anyone recommend a good, central hotel/gite in Lyon? last year I was alone and stayed in an excellent airbnb but next time there will be a group of us so we will need something bigger. Thanks!

    Arles Route

    I've enjoyed reading all your comments about this route; I'm planning to walk the section from Pau to Puenta la Reina in 2016. Does anyone know how far that section is or roughly how long it takes? It seems to be about 260kms.

    Favorite gites (private and municipal) Le Puy to SJPP???

    On the other hand: great recent gites: Miramont sensacq. Wonderful hospitaliers, fantastic food (donativo) and great crew. Food at the gite boulangerie in arthez de bearn fantastic.

    Favorite gites (private and municipal) Le Puy to SJPP???

    Hi all. Sorry to be a downer but I just want to add a couple of gites you try to MISS!! The gite d'etapes communal in Arzacq, Pomps and la sauvelade are drear in the extreme and the food st each absolutely dire. The latter gite charged €20 for a dismal, unhealthy meal and no wine; I could have...

    Moissac to Condom

    Thanks bill-great info. I don't want to skip anything but have to. I know what you mean about the 'boring ' stretches-I loved the meseta in Spain for the big skies and solitude too. Will hopefully be able to return and do this 'missing' section in the future.

    Moissac to Condom

    Thanks-lovely pics kanga. How about condom onwards-I understand it's a bit flat and uninteresting, especially in the height of summer? And any idea about bus transport out of condom-the gare here couldn't tell me-?

    Moissac to Condom

    Is the section from M to C pretty? I'm a bit short of days and was planning on taking the train from here-Moissac-to the Pays Basque but seems it might be better to skip the section from Condom. Any thoughts? I have found the route from conques to here less interesting, but that's because Le puy...
