    Best path from Lourdes to St. Jean Pied de Port

    Agree- I did the same path from Lourdes and I found it a very special. Especially the Somport Pass and days following. I even walked backward from Punta La Reina to Pamplona (I was leaving from there to head back to states) - and it was shocking to see how much the traffic increased on the...

    Viterbo

    Yikes!! Ok very good to know. I'm looking at route maps now so this is well-timed advice and I will heed this. I'm also seeing a potential VF office in Viterbo so I will check with them as well on routes to avoid the road if they are open on Sunday. Thanks!!

    Viterbo

    I am excited to pick up our trail from Bolsena tomorrow for a short 3 days of walking. We have done two previous 12 day sections of the Francigena and hope to fill in the gaps this year. (We are living in Naples for a couple years so reaching the trail has gotten easier). I noticed the Via...

    Camino Aragones

    I also started in Oloron-Ste. Marie 2 years ago. Loved it. No problems with lodging. Not a lot of food options but I dont remember being hungry. Stopped at Leyre Monastery for night, as well as Castle of St Xavier. Ran into a couple of pilgrims at the start at Oloron (some had started at...

    Path between Monasterio de Leyre and Lumbier

    Thank you - this bus line looks like a great option and I'm taking notes on all your advice.

    Path between Monasterio de Leyre and Lumbier

    Thanks for this thread and that link to a Map. I am planning to walk the northern side of there reservoir this September and I did book a room at Leyre (tho it has been recommended to cab from Berdun at least to Tiermas rather than walk north side of Yesa Reservoir). I will also hope to get...

    Irati Railway Route: walking between Pamplona (CF) and Sanguesa (CA)

    Very cool. I had been thinking of walking from Puente La Reina to Pamplona on the reverse CF route. Perhaps this is a better alternative.

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    BTW - I think I found that website for water level: http://www.saihebro.com/saihebro/index.php?url=/datos/ficha/estacion:E029. Will have to get lucky for it to be low enough for Tiermas but fingers crossed.

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    Thank you for this thread. We're not starting til September 1 in Oloron. I was considering the northern route at the resevoir- initially thinking we'd walk but after this thread perhaps a taxi from Artieda makes more sense. I have booked a night at Leyre but was also interested in stopping at...

    Transport from Conques to Toulouse

    I am making a similar trip in reverse in May. From Toulouse I'm taking the train to Rodez - that seems pretty frequent. Then for a taxi to Conques I reached to La Malle Postale who agreed even tho its a holiday when I arrive. A couple years ago I used them to take me from Conques to Rodez and 2...

    Transport Paris to Conques

    I bet there may be easier routes, but you could look into flying to Rodez and then cabbing. I am leaving from Conques a week before you in May and I am taking a cab from Rodez. (I fly into Toulouse and will train to Rodez) I emailed Lamallepostale.com and they confirmed they could do the taxi...

    Paris -Charles de Gaulle to Le Puy

    This site is such an amazing resource. Thank you all for the help. I had never heard of Captain Train and its great. But looking at the prices, it actually may be more economical (gas and all) for us to rent a car - which I would not have thought possible. We're deciding now if we'll feel up...

    Paris -Charles de Gaulle to Le Puy

    Thanks. It also looks like a glitch on SCNF may be a browser error. However, its now unclear to me that Americans can book through that site anyway. Was nervous that costs would increase severely if I waited till day of to buy the ticket, but it might my best option. Thanks!

    Paris -Charles de Gaulle to Le Puy

    I'm traveling in 2 weeks to start walking my walk from Le Puy. I have not been able to reserve a train from Charles de Gaulle to Le Puy - although I can see there is a train option. Can anyone share the link to the booking sites? SCNF seems to indicate there are no trains and the Bahn site...

    Another itinerary: small section Le Puy - Conques

    Thanks Canucks. Will ask for shortcut and I enjoy dogs, so that's good. We are flying from Rodez Airport - looks like about a 40 minute cab ride south of Conques, but the flights to Orly from Rodez were 69 euro a piece - overall I think its comparable to what we would have paid for trains and...

    Another itinerary: small section Le Puy - Conques

    Thanks for all suggestions. Much appreciated! I am not that fit yet, but some time to work on it. Hearing the message! Asking for lunches from hosts is great idea if stores wont be open. I find 30-40 euro reasonable for us personally if we can find private rooms for that much. We might not...

    Another itinerary: small section Le Puy - Conques

    Starting what is hopefully a multi-year effort to walk the camino from Le Puy. I have been having fun on Godesalco site and thought I'd share the results in case there is any feedback, especially since I hope to book at least the first 3-4 nights lodging soon. I know there are many great...

    Conques to Paris?

    True that we wont have as much time in Conques, but I do hope to return when we start the next section next year. I'm not very sorry to miss extra time in Paris, but do wish I had more time for Le Puy and Conques. Only so much vacation time -and budget. We did some of the Portuguese last...

    Conques to Paris?

    Thank you both for these links! I wasn't thinking of a plane, but its very reasonable to fly from Rodez to Paris at 6pm - still leaves me some time to see Conques. Should work perfectly. Now I'll just focus on training so I can actually reach Conques in 10 days!

    Conques to Paris?

    I have had some trouble identifying the quickest ways back from Conques to Paris for a flight home and was hoping I might be pointed toward some transportation options. We are booked for arrival in Paris on Tuesday June 7 and we must make a return flight on Saturday June 18 at 2:30pm. (Not...
