Before walking the Camino Francés, I thought I would be annoyed by these phrases, but to my surprise I was not at all. Probably because your numbers 1, 2 and 3 happened to me so sweetly.
Which path do you refer to exactly ? I'll be there on the 1st of October and do not wish to go down through the woods, but rather by the scenic ('open') path.
Thank you so much for this precious info !!! Really. I live in Quebec, Canada, actually, but soon I do a house exchange with some nice people in Sion, Switzerland. So from August 15th to the very end of September, I'll just be in Sion and work there as I do at home (I'm a translator) and...
Oh thanks ! Yes the latter, from Biarritz. But i don't seem to find much info about la voie de Nive. I should have written my post in English too. But merci for the link, I'll go see it !
J'ai besoin d'info. Je vais quitter Genève à la toute fin septembre pour marcher le Francés, mais deux choses : je ne veux pas commencer à SJPDP mais plutôt faire deux ou trois jours de marche avant, et j'aimerais passer par Ostabat, qui est l'étape juste avant SJPDP sur la Voie de Tours. Donc...
I agree so much. Maybe too many people go there for the 'challenge', as if it was some kind of competition. Not sure it is the spirit of the chemin. I like the expression 'God speed', whatever the god.
I live in Quebec and was born in Saguenay (5 hours north of Montréal), so October will not be cold for me, and Nature is wonderful in Fall, particularly the light. I'm not a fan of heat and crowd. I'm soooo looking forward to walk. :)
Maybe the 'Meseta' is more 'fruitful', spiritually, when you arrive on it after a while walking, for exemple from SJPDP, rather than juste being catapulted on it without having walked several weeks before. I don't know yet. I'll experience it this October.
