    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    My pack is also made by Zpacks, so it's 17 ounces empty. I also added another kilo before leaving, so I'm up to six kilos without food and water. I will get together a packing list when I get back. :)

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    I fly to Paris tomorrow at 16:30! Those butterflies in my stomach are now HUGE. Downloaded Ivar's app, running a last load of laundry, and made sure the bank knows I'm in France and Spain for the next while. My first two weeks are booked for accommodation, from hotels to campsites (I'm bringing...

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    Less than 20 days! How many more times will I check through my pack to make sure I have everything, but not too much? :D

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    I am experiencing alternating excitement and anxiety, but the thoughts of seeing Vezelay, Bibracte, Autun, Anost, Cluny, and the lace museum in Le Puy-en-Velay are all tipping me towards the former. Each place has a connection, from my confirmation saint, to two of my favorite eras of history...

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    Marion at CSJ is sending me the the new Guide Orange, and it's ONE MONTH TODAY that I land in Paris. Butterflies in my stomach! :-)

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    Thank you, KiwiNomad! I've been in communication with the folks at the Confraternity of St. James (who apparently have it in stock according to their email to me), but just need to put it up on the website so I can purchase it. :) I wrote to the Haut-Beaujolais tourism website, but they do not...

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    I start walking from Auxerre on April 9th. I'll be following the Chemin d'Assise until I get to Cluny, then using the Cluny-Le Puy Chamina guide and the Guide Orange (if the CSJ will put it up for sale). Getting nervous, but happy!

    Vézelay - Le Puy en Velay

    Thank you, everybody! I was originally thinking of the Lemovicensis, but have decided to start walking from Auxerre to Vezelay, then down to Le Puy via Cluny. I also want to pass by Bibracte and Autun, so I've been cobbling together maps and guidebooks. :-)
