    My Camino plan from Mont-Saint-Michel

    Hi Mary, Sounds great! So what was your opinion of Les Landes - essential or tedious? How much of the way did you skip walking and why (not being critical here!). I'll manage to do it one day...

    From Brittany or from Mont-Saint-Michel

    Not looking likely right now!

    Pilgrim's Halt on Voie de Tours

    Sounds good. I would make a point of it to stay there.

    My Camino plan from Mont-Saint-Michel

    How common is getting the credential stamped in France? I would imagine the gîtes du pèlerin would have stamps for it, but what about from other accommodations / churches / where-ever else? Also how often do you need to get them?

    My Camino plan from Mont-Saint-Michel

Yeah, I think more would be walking towards the Mont than away from it. And I have no doubts about French hospitality :)...

    My Camino plan from Mont-Saint-Michel

    Thanks for that, it is good to know. It will be a most contemplative pilgrimage through France then.

    My Camino plan from Mont-Saint-Michel

    Thanks for the welcome and for the advice. I did think walking through Les Landes would not be a very exciting path to take. Would it be better to go west closer to the coast? Going east would seem more of a detour. I'm not too sure how the best way to avoid the long stretch through the forest...
