  Have walked both. Also the Frances and the Norte (full route) and you can not really compare one with the other. Each has its own magic. The Le Puy route and Primitivo are similar as difficulty goes. Food in Le Puy is fabulous. System is...

  I've walked both in 2022. I don't speak French and did not find myself isolated at all. Many fellow Pilgrims spoke English and the French were very friendly even if they couldn't speak English. I saw Pilgrims daily on both Le Puy and Primitivo...

  If you go to the Windy.com site, there is an option to show the webcams in the area. You can check the weather further along the route. Will be using these webcams in a few weeks while completing a section I was not able to do a few years ago...

  I've just bought this, it was exactly what I was looking for so thanks again. I just wanted to ask, is it necessary to have a pilgrim credential on this route to access services, the same as the Camino? I will order one if so, otherwise I will...

  Also, be sure to book ahead at the hostel up on Great St Bernard Pass. It was completely full when I crossed the pass in late Sept 2023, not least due to their hospitality extending to all hikers and travelers. As “timr” noted above, the...
