    Footwear and Path Condition

    Margaret Of course we're now thinking of the next trip. Have you done any other sections in France ? We did Via de la Plata in Spain and that was great as well. John

    Footwear and Path Condition

    We are just back from walking Le Puy to Conques and thought it might be useful to give a summary of what we found out, which might be valuable for those planning this route. I got a lot of help from people during my planning, so here are some details that might be of interest. Up front, the...

    Accommodation on Le Puy route

    We found accommodation not too difficult to find in September this year. The thing to do is buy Mia Mia Do Do and take your phone. Once you're settled in your accommodation in the afternoon get busy booking the next night up. If you leave it thill the next morning, the gites might be full. And...

    Pillows

    One thing to watch for is fleas in pillows, although how you tell infected ones I don't know. We are just back from walking Le Puy to Conques, and my partner got fleas from a pillow in the Domaine du Sauvage gite. She reacts badly to insect bites and came out in red itchy blotches. John

    Footwear and Path Condition

    Thanks for all the helpful advice on the Le Puy route. It seems to be not as bad as I thought, although the weather plays a part in the conditions. Only 9 days before we leave ! Another point : should we assume that we will need euros. Or do the gites take credit card ? Are there cash machines...

    Footwear and Path Condition

    Hi Can anyone give us advice on the route from Le Puy ? We have previously walked the St Jean - Santiago route and found the paths mostly excelent. But I read that the paths in France are not so good. Are proper walking / moutaineering boots required, or are good walking shoes sufficient ? We...
