Thanks, it’s good to know suggested stops rather than making mistakes. We are going to book ahead too. Already finding some places are closed in October so booking takes away the risk.
That's really good info. We are very interested in pre-history and will definitely make a point t of seeing the cave art. Many thanks for putting this together, it will be very useful in our planning.
Hi fellow pilgrims.
We will be walking the Via Podiensis from Le Puy-en-Velay in Sep/Oct this year and are in the process of planning our route and stages. We see there are three route variants following Figeac (our reference book is Camino de Santiago - Via Podiensis by Dave Whitson published...
Hi, We will be in Europe for 4 months this year, part of which will be dedicated to walking Le Puy to Conques in October. Being in Europe for so long we will have, in addition to our backpacks, a suitcase each of approx 25kg with our non hiking and winter gear (we are having Christmas in the...

We recently booked our train travel from Paris to SJPP using the Trainline website. Suggest you download the APP too as you then have access to your tickets on your phone but we always travel with paper copies as well. We are travelling to SJPP on 24 April and booked tickets a month ago and...
Hi, that's good to know. Still in two minds as to whether we spray our gear with Permethrin before leaving or not. Not long now before we start our Europe trip and getting down to the wire to do the spraying.
Ok, that’s good to know. We leave OZ on 14 March but don’t start our Camino until 27 April. So it may be the case of a need to re-apply it before we start.
