    Geneva to Le Puy en Velay (Via Gebennensis)

    We took the GR65 (Via Gebennensis) over La Cote-St-Andre and Chavanay (350km). There is also another route over St-Antoine and St Agreve (383km). Yellow guide book shows GR65 route, Green guide book shows 2nd route. I hope this helps.

    Geneva to Le Puy en Velay (Via Gebennensis)

    Hi Celio, I don't know where you get the Credential in Geneva, I got the Credential here in South Africa. I am sure if your Google it you will find out where to get it. I also don't know what the name of the bookshop is, I walked towards the old town and found it. Ask for the "Libraire" (that...

    Hi Jill, Enjoy your hike in the Canyon. I did it last year just before it closed for the season. Very hot! Totally different from what I'm doing now!

    I'm arriving in Geneva on 13 May 2016 to begin my walk to Le Puy en Velay. I'm coming from South Africa and need some advise about the weather conditions in Geneva and France at that time of the year.

    South African Companies offering guided Caminotours?

    Hallo Johan, no need to go with an guided, organised tour. It will cost you an arm and a leg, you can do it much cheaper when you make your own arrangements. Use a travel agent to book your flights, they can also help you with advise how to get from the airport to your starting point (train or...

    Pilgrim-friendly Tapas Bars in Pamplona

    Cafe Aruna in Pamplona, not a tapas bar, but 3 course meal with wine. I was 2 nights in Pamplona during my camino from Le Puy last year. Ate there with a fellow pilgrim the first night, we were given 2 bottles of wine. Went back there the following night.

    Looking for a walking partner from Le Puy in 2015

    Walk alone. I walked from Le Puy to Pamplona in September and October this year, my first Camino. The route is very well marked, I never felt unsafe. You will meet new friends along the way. A wonderful experience!!

    You are making 2 very good decisions: no 1 - moving back to SA and 2 - walking the Camino. I am at the moment on the Chemin Le Puy and I it is wonderful!

    Backpack, vitamins, and gastronomy questions!

    Keep the metal piece in, it is part of the structure of the bag and there for a purpose! It is part of the adjustable back system, bag must sit on your hips, it is loose so you can adjust the bag to sit properly on your back.
