    Pre-St. Jean Walking in France

    These are all wonderful suggestions, but I expected nothing less from all of you. There are any number of wonderful books published from people who have walked the French Way (for example) in Spain. Are there any books (in English) of someone's experience walking the Le Puy routed that you...

    Pre-St. Jean Walking in France

    We like walking in a variety of settings, even across the Meseta. Our thoughts were to start 2 weeks away from St. Jean, but now you got me thinking. We could walk 2 weeks anywhere in France with suitable accommodations, "guideposts", etc. And then train/bus to St. Jean. Suggestions?

    Pre-St. Jean Walking in France

    My wife and I walked from St Jean to Santiago in 2017 and again in 2018. We plan to walk the French Way again in 2022 (to celebrate our 70th years) but we would like to start farther into France prior to St. Jean. We want to include an experience in France and with the French people into our...

    Starting Second Camino Frances from SJPP on May 13

    My wife and I finished our first Camino Frances last summer. I hated for it to end. It took me almost 3 weeks to adjust and knew I needed to do this at least one more time. My wife said she was glad we accomplished it together but for her, never again. But that decision changed over the next...

    Scientific Proof That Bag Rustling is Painful

    My wife and I plan to take our first Camino late May. We want a waterproof bag type liner for our backpack into which we would put our clothes, what would you recommend to minimize noise? And I already got the point of carrying our stuff out and then packing. Oh, and thanks to everyone for...

    May vs September

    My wife and I are in our mid 60's and plan to our first pilgrimage in 2016. We hope to minimize encounters with full hostels and the afternoon heat by starting at St. Jean either on May 1st or September 1st. We think our trek might take about 40 days. We also hope that with these dates we...
