    Rail strike

    Thank you for the replies. It is true that many trains are running and don’t forget to check out the bus. We’re planning to take a night bus from Cahors to Paris. We were completely blindsided by this week’s vacation for the French... and many of them were too. After being closed out of a...

    Preparing to head Paris to Le Puy on May 5, back from Cahors to Paris May 19 for flight back to the US on May 20. Have train ticket for May 5 but can't get one for the 19th.

    Recommended readings prior to walking Le Puy route?

    We leave May 4 for 2 weeks starting from Le Puy. Any readings people recommend on the geography, history or culture in that area of France?

    Let's get rid of plastic on the Camino

    I have not bought a plastic water bottle in years. Re-usable bottles are the way to go. Plus did you hear about the little pieces of plastic in the purchased water? Yikes!

    Reading suggestions for the Camino

    Hi John M, I think you'll have to open your blog to the general public as I was closed out. I was interested in the books. I myself wrote a book which features my family's first trip on the Camino Frances. It is called The BIG Trip. It's a memoir about taking a year off the school/work rat-race...

    suggestions for Figeac to Paris?

    Thank you for that helpful if sad information. WW2 past remains so present in France. I appreciate the large number of memorials that have been placed in the last 10 years.

    Thank you Glenshiro. Will make a note to head to the bus station, not the train!

    suggestions for Figeac to Paris?

    Thanks - most helpful. We are now considering that if we arrive on the 17th in Figeac, we could hop on the train on the 18th and spend that day/night in Cahors, then back to Paris on the 19th from Cahors. Otherwise if we arrive later in Figeac, we might head to Paris directly from there. Given...

    Mother-Daughter Camino, Philly area

I was concerned not as much with the athletic requirements of the walk but with the potential monotony for teens. I could not have been more wrong! My teens absolutely loved...

    Our family camino last month

    Hi! We are a family of 5 who walked the Camino from Leon to Santiago last month. I had read the forum extensively before we left and found then very useful. What I have to add concerns footwear and bedbugs (no relation intended). Footwear: I had read suggestions concerning light hiking boots...
