I’m sure that whichever route you choose, you’ll have a fabulous Camino. I was in your position last year and settled on the Cele Valley varient with a rest day where I took a train to Rocammadour. I can’t recommend this approach enough! The...
We walked from Le Puy last September. We knew we would not walk this way again, so we did a lot of research. We spent two nights in Figeac, enjoying the old city there and taking the bus to and from Roccamadeur the next day. It was picture...
A very good quicker route i’ve done before is
Figeac
Espagnac
Marcilhac
Cabrerets
St Cirq
Pasturat (or Bears/Vers if you want to get a bit further ahead)
Cahors.
I book ahead on the Célé, there isn’t a great deal of accommodation, and i have...
As someone else mentioned - take a day trip from Figeac to Rocamadour and return. We asked about this in the Tourist Office in Figeac (in 2009). They made a phone call for us to 'Taxi Pat' to meet us at the train station in Rocamadour (I...

We met a few (though not many) along the path. As I recall they were taking from 4 and up to 7 days. With a bit of planning it's possible to break things up according to your needs / preferences. We had plenty of time as it was a stand alone...
G'day,
Like others I will strongly recommend the Célé Valley route. The entire walk is great but the thing that is not to be missed is the caves at Peche Merl, a 1 km or so north of Cabrerets. It is a remarkable experience to come face-to-face...
