    Speaking French on the Le Puy Route

    I, too, walked the Via Podiensis without any French, this last September. September is the month when the retirees of France often walk the GR65. I had no problem with reserving. I usually sent an email 2 days in advance and always got a reply. The Miam Miam Dodo's indication of English speakers...

    Planning to Walk St Olavsleden, Norway

    You could. I celebrated my 70th on that walk. I don't know how to reply to you personally. Like a private message.

    Guidebooks?

    I agree with that. The Germans I traveled with had the best guidebook. And sometimes a slightly different route. That also happened on the Camino Frances. The maps were definitely better.

    Guidebooks?

    I walked the Oslo to Trondheim route in 2015. I had bought Alison's book and found it quite useless. When I went to the pilgrim office in Oslo, they had other books. I think the Norwegian book which I didn't buy was much better. Luckily I hooked up with others along the way and planned each...

    I need to travel from SJPdP to Bayonne after finishing my Camino from LePuy. When do the trains run to Bayonne?

    SJPDP - your accommodation recommendations, and why...

    I will be arriving there from LePuy route and it will be my last night's stay, not my first. I am thinking my thoughts might be different at the end of a Camino instead of at the beginning of one.

    Accommodation from Le Puy to StJPdP

    Thank you. Just as expected. Same in Spain and Norway. I have Miam Miam Dodo but didn't know I listed ATMs. Are they called ATMs in the book?

    Accommodation from Le Puy to StJPdP

    International SIM Cards?

    I am wondering about the Wifi availability along the Le Puy route. Do most of the gites have Wi-Fi available?

    International SIM Cards?

    I have also used onesim. It worked well for me Norway and South Africa. I think it is more expensive that buying a local sim card but the convenience of having it ready immediately upon entering the country has some value. Keeping the same SIM thru onesim gets to be expensive if you don't travel...

    "Couchsurfing" for pilgrims only

    I also did couchsurfing in Lillehammer and Trondheim in 2015 for a total of 5 nights. It was my first true couchsurfing experience and the experience turned me into a welcoming host at my end of the world. Though it was through the Couch surfing app, it was with other pilgrims who also needed a...

    Pacer poles...

    I have Pacer Poles as well. I love them. They have served me well on 2 Caminos and will join me in a third in September. And many hills and trails in between. Fortunately I have not had an injured anything reason to use them but I can only imagine they would be better than crutches in certain...

    Planning to Walk St Olavsleden, Norway

    I walked from Oslo to Trondheim in June of 2015 and had no difficulty finding a place to stay. I had a friend with me. On the last third of the walk we often stayed where a group from Oslo stayed at their invite. We did pay separately and ate separately. When not attaching ourselves to their...

    Best time to book flights?

    I happened to get a ticket on American RT from Chicago to Paris for this Sept Camino for $400. And Delta was offering the same. It was black Friday, the day after the US Thanksgiving. And it was non-stop. I don't think it could go lower. Just an FYI.

    Le Puy Route in September

    Thank you all. Demipensions are, indeed, the answer. Each Camino has something new to discover.

    Le Puy Route in September

    Thank you. Since you always booked ahead 2 or 3 days, does that mean you booked for 2 or 3 days even before you started? When I did the Spain Camino from SJPdP, I only booked ahead once on that Sept walk. This experience will be quite different.

    Le Puy Route in September

    I am starting in Le Puy Aug 27. I understand shops are often closed on Sunday and Monday. Will it be difficult to find midday lunch food on the trail?

    Le Puy route anyone?

    I am doing Le Put in September and have no info on how to get to Le Puy from Paris. Can you guide me since you have now done the trip?
