    Cycling Le Puy Route

    I will recommend the book "The Way of St James, A cyclists' guide" by John Higginson. I got it from amazon.co.uk. It describes the cycle path apart from the waking path. I have used the book planning my camino from Le Puy by bike, starting in one month :)

    Lyon Airport - Le Puy?

    There are plenty of trains going from Lyon til St.Etienne. When you check the timetable for Lyon - Le Puy you will only find the train with the 6 min connection. Try times for Lyon - St. Etienne, and then St.Etienne - Le Puy. Lyon - St.Etienne has train running once or twice every hour.
