    Transport Service between hostels/albergues on the La Puy Route

    I used La Malle Postale everyday between Le Puy and Cahors. 8 Euros per day per bag. Plus when I was sick I could start with the Malle Postale and they would let me out and I could walk a partial section to my site. You pay extra for the ride and the calculation is based on distance. Their...
