Is it feasible to camp on the Le Puy route in the woods (not established campgrounds)?

We will be starting in early May. Thanks.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The legality is somewhat unknown, but only a fire will bring enforcement in most cases.
 
"Wild" camping is not permitted. In places where there are no businesses dependent on touristic trade and provided you don't light fires, break fences or trample crops and especially don't foul watercourses, grazing land etc etc... Falcon, as usual, is correct. Cooking fires will exceed local tolerance; otherwise discrete camping well away from settlements and outside National Parks and similar is feasible but you may wish to consider how relaxed a nights sleep you are hoping for. That said I have encountered many a Paysanne who has let me camp in a corner, sometimes for €, sometimes for labour, but I have no personal experience of the Camino in France.

Bon chance

Hi, I met a young Swiss guy who stealth camped along the Le Puy route. He just waited til almost dark, went off trail to somewhere discrete and slept out in the open (I don't think he brought a tent just a sleeping bag and some sort of weatherproof cover). He occasionally stayed in hostels etc. I don't think he had any issues but I didn't quiz him in detail. We had exceptionally good weather most of the way so it would be quite another story if it rained alot I suspect.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I am fine tuning my packing and I pre package my vitamins/supplements to take daily, which I have done for about 15 years. Do you all take them with you, or leave them home? 36 days of vitamins...
Dear fellow pilgrims! :) I hope to walk from Le Puy to Santiago later this year. I was thinking about starting at some point in august so that I manage to reach Santiago before it gets too cold...
Hey! Thinking about walking Le Puy this year. I am a solo female traveller. On my previous Camino (Spain) I stayed in municipal albergues, but this time I would like to try something...
