whole family traveling - guide service vs. winging it
Will second that advice, that's like 15,000$ (or euro) which is frankly enormous for what you'll be paying for. I found places to stay in the off-season in rural France, so on the actual Camino it won't be a problem, ever. The places you stay will vary, but the owners will always recommend a...- Dan.inRealLife

Starting in Geneva, early February
Well the cold front here in Europe delayed my start, but I'll be leaving from Geneva in early March now. Don't expect to see many fellow pilgrims on the Geneva-Le Puy stretch in March, but if you happen to be in the area shoot me an IM here and we'll try to meet up. If all goes well will be...- Dan.inRealLife

Starting in Geneva, early February
Weather forecast for next week, highs of -2C, lows in the minus teens. Same for the Arles / Le Puy routes! Forsee another delay coming, hrmpf! That'll teach me to try and do a Feb departure. ;)- Dan.inRealLife

Hi everyone, Well my trip last fall fell through (see my intro thread if needed!) and I'll be heading to Geneva in early Feb to start my walk. I plan on doing Geneva - Le Puy (about 15 days), returning home for some business (I live near Lyon) and then off to Le Puy to do the Le Puy - Santiago...- Dan.inRealLife

Dan, American starting in Le Puy in late Sept
Thanks for the good tips everyone. I've got my entire pack weight to about 15 kilos, that's carrying 3 liters of water. My tarp, sleeping bag, bivvy and mat together weigh about 5 kilos. I don't have any stove, was pondering whether to bring one as I thought I'd try to be near towns and grab...- Dan.inRealLife

Question about Fete du Roi in Le Puy in September
Looks like I'll be there around that time as well for a departure! A Saturday start with the festival sounds good, as the departure from Le Puy Sunday morning would be good.- Dan.inRealLife

Dan, American starting in Le Puy in late Sept
Hi Michael, Thanks for the kind words. I've been here 5 years now. I had the same love affair with Italy when I got stationed there in 2001 to 2005. France is a bit, well, different for me. ;) My biggest challenge is that I have a family I'm leaving to go do this. 2 small children and my...- Dan.inRealLife

Dan, American starting in Le Puy in late Sept
Hello everyone! Long time reader here. Many a days I've spent, daydreaming at my day job and reading these forums to get a feel of what I'm in store for in the near future. I'm in a bit of a unique scenario, I'm American, ex-military (33 yrs old now), and living in France. I actually live...- Dan.inRealLife
