    From Figeac - Variants Decision - ?

    But speaking of booking, I sent out emails to my first ten gites and stages more than a week ago for reservations and only got two responses. I’ve held up on resending the emails thinking maybe it’s too early or too far advance.

    Do You Need Sleeping Bag in April?

    Thanks! Yeah I saw that and a couple other brands I was considering with same temp rating and one a little lighter at 1.5 lbs for $39.

    I’ve seen comments that you don’t need to take a sleeping bag but just sleeping bag liner on Puy-En-Velay. But is that true for April? Also, what temperature rating is recommended for sleeping bag where it will be used indoors? I could see one being too hot in one rated at low temperature.
