We stayed at Gîte Sorbier in 2018, there was a very friendly pub just across the road and a wonderful restaurant that serves that delicious cheesy potato dish that is a speciality of the region - it’s spectacular!!
We are coincidentally spending a night there tonight. It is spic and span as a new pin, and the new owners are very hospitable and friendly. Our only complaint was the increased cost , we paid €65 for a spartan room, and lukewarm showers. It is the most we have paid for a twin room on any Camino...
Thanks Domigee! I really liked those skirts, particularly the purple. I get what you say about being short though, and protecting those ‘pegs’, but being a bit vertically challenged myself perhaps they may be ok on me... The Rip stop group had one long ( mid calf) length skirt which I thought...
I really like these skirts. I have a lovely one in the original style in red which I wear often in the summer down the beach. I wore the slim in a knee length in my Portuguese camino and found for my stride, it was just a teensy bit narrow- fine for normal wear but irritating when around 3 hours...

Hi there! We are in the route and currently on our way to Espalion today. Keep hold of your MMDD 2016 edition. It is now split into 2 editions now but at the Tourist centre in Nasbinals, the woman there said that the old edition was better. There’s also the Michelin guide which we bought in e...
I know how exciting that ‘sent’ bit is. My husband and I will be landing in Le Puy after our morning train from Lyon on the 23rd March - a tad early , but the best we could manage. The anticipation of preparing for this is so motivating. After walking From Lisbon last year in very different...
