Thanks ranthr--this might be a really good option for my dad and his knees! i will check with our hotel and maybe they can direct us to this alternate route. And great to know that day 3 is long rather than too challenging. Now if I can just get packed!
thanks all for your great advice! I leave tomorrow for Paris and from there by train to Le Puy (IF all goes well with flights and trains--fingers crossed!)
I am staying at L'oustal de parent and like all my hotels really except not finding much in Le Puy except the Ibis Styles.
I have to...
Hi all,
I'm planning on leaving Le Puy on September 30 and only have four days to walk. I'm going with my dad (age 75) and daughter (age 18) and we want to give my daughter a taste of a pilgrimage. My dad has done the Camino Frances and the Porto with my son, so it is her turn.
That said, I am...
Cecelia,
Do you remember which company you used? I need to be transported from Aumont-Aubrac back to Le Puy and am trying to arrange this ahead of time. However I can also just try to make this happen when I am on the trail if you think that is possible.
Thanks!
I will be traveling with my 18-year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease from Le Puy to Aumont-Aubrac in early October. We did fine in Paris this summer, but had lots of options. My biggest concern is cross contamination because she is so sensitive. I think it will be much...
Thanks all!! I'm excited for the mass and happy to know the actual start time. I think we will end up coming back to Le Puy before heading back to Paris, but it sounds like there is a lot to see there.
It sounds like I can arrange the bag transfer once I get there with the hotels. I'm also...
Good to know about the difficulty of the path compared to the Spanish route. We are going in September, so I have no idea what type of weather we will encounter. I am going to make reservations and really hope we don't have snow!! Since we have so few days on the route, we should be fine with a...
Yes, I think the baggage transfer will be key with my dad--he did that in Spain and it was a big help. He is a dedicated walker, although does need some coffee every few hours and I'm having trouble figuring out if we will find some towns with little cafes along the way. Do you think I need to...
I am traveling with my dad (age 75) and my daughter (age 17) for a short trip in late September. My dad has walked the Camino Frances and the Porto with my son and wants to do something with my daughter before she goes off to college next year. We only have a week, so are planning on flying into...
Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I think we are going to start from Le Puy since it seems to be the most interesting with our very short walk to start off this leg of the pilgrimage. However, the next time I am in Paris, I am definitely going to visit Vezelay. I love Arles and wish I...
I will be walking with my father (age 75) and my daughter (age 17) in late September. My dad has already done the entire Camino Frances and Porto, but wants to walk a bit with my daughter. We are flying into Paris and only have a week to get a little of the experience for my daughter. I walked...
