    Advice on Accommodation and Dining Options on the Fisherman's Trail

    Hello all, I hope it's OK to jump in here rather than start a new chain :) We are planning the Fisherman's Trail, walking south from Porto Covo, in early November. I would be thankful for links to anyone's blog or itinerary who is willing to share! There are three or possibly four of us. I...

    St. Jean totally booked end of June 2017?

    I heartily second the recommendation for Beilari. I have stayed there twice now, in 2015 at the end of my Le Puy route and at the beginning of the Frances last June. It is a lovely gite-- clean, peaceful, central, and very well run. Just don't be late for dinner! By the way I booked in March for...

    Any crime reports between Belorado to Burgos this week

    I just finished the section to Burgos on Thursday and met a young woman who fits that description. I cannot remember her name though. Does she have a Russian or similar accent? If so, I saw her in Granon earlier this week and at the municipal pilgrims albergue in Burgos on Thursday evening and...

    Solo women walking Le Puy to Conques August 22nd to September 1st

    I see a lot of recommendations for the Miam Miam Do Do book but I'd like to recommend another that many people were carrying on the route last year, and I have just bought it for my upcoming walk from Cahors-SJPP. It is Bettina Forst's "Chemin de St-Jacques" The map is far better than the Miam...

    Going back to the Chacos/Teva question

    Hi all, I'm leaving in two weeks for part of the 'chemin' in France. I am taking a lightweight pair of silver flips flops from old Navy (for dress up :-) and also the following flip flops, in addition to my hiking...

    Ending in St Jean de Luz instead of St Jean Pied de Port

    I'll be walking from Cahors this June and I would really like to divert my walk at St Palais and finish in St Jean de Luz instead of St JPP. I found this itinerary on the Camino del Norte thread and am wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge of this route? It has the following...

    Route from St Jean to join Camino Del Norte at Irun

    However, it is indeed possible to walk to the coast from both the Puy and Vezelay Routes starting in Saint Palais. It has the following itinerary: Saint Palais - Hélette 23km Hélette - Espelette 24km Espelette - Sare 17.5 km Sare - Saint Jean de Luz 13.8 km Hopefully this helps...

    Cahors - St. Jean Pied du Port

    I did Le Puy to Cahors last July. If you can manage it, I think it is a perfect segment with a lot of variety. Highlights were the Aubrac itself, including the marvelous little town of Aubrac with that odd B and B, looks like the Addams Family could live there. Domaine Sauvage is a must and the...

    Finishing the Le Puy route in SJPP -- logistics/options? extra days?

    Yes, Do the Cele route, you won't regret it!

    First day from Le Puy -- via Bain vs GR 65 through St Christophe

    I'm not sure how do do the quotes, but falcon269 is right, "I think authenticity is fairly bogus. In the good old days, pilgrims took the easiest route to their destination, routes like game trails and Roman roads." I talked with more than one cynical host who said that parts of the current...

    First day from Le Puy -- via Bain vs GR 65 through St Christophe

    About 2 or 3 kilometers after leaving Le Puy last summer we encountered an older man who spoke good English and provided us with a map to take the "real" route to St Privat going through Bains. I'm sure he was the very person we were warned about by shopkeepers and signs in Le Puy to avoid. He...

    Cele Route - accommodation recommendations for these stops?

    I walked the Cele route in mid July and did not meet anyone on the trail but there was always a fellow walker at my night's lodging. It is beautiful, solitary, and as others have said, feels untouched by time. You pass by strange rock formations and caves, and houses built into the cliffs, and...

    Crowds on the Le Puy?

    I walked from Le Puy to Cahors during the first two weeks of July this year and, while usually I could find people to walk with if I wanted to, it was absolutely not crowded, especially on the Cele route where I did not run into a fellow walker for four days (except in the evening). FatmaG, you...

    July clothes

    John, what a fun picture! We are also walking to Cahors. We are planning to do the Cele route, did you happen to go that route? Looks like I may leave the fleece at home and just take a warm lightweight pullover. Packing for this is truly an exercise in minimalism! And bon chemin, Olivares and...

    July clothes

    Just packing for my trip--we'll be starting the walk in a couple of weeks. This is so helpful as I try to decide what to take! It's cool and rainy at home in Portland :-)
