    Crowds on the Vezelay route

    We did the Vezelay route thru Bourges in May. Met half a dozen people. Most of the time me and my wife were alone for the night. As someone else said above pay attention to food as there are often few places to refer to. We enjoyed very much the ospitality of the Friend of the Chemin , they were...

    Refuges - Stupid Question (Sorry)

    Hi rich, We (myself and wife) have walked the Vezelay route in 2009. Great wiews and very few pilgrims. the Vezelay route has about a tenth of the walkers than le Puy. But unfortunately also accomodation is much scarcer. Some of the gites available along the route offer four places. Quite a few...

    Vezelay, or Brittany to Tours Route?

    Not having walked the Tauronensis it's hard to answer your question...however we did walk from Vezelay last year so let me just say that it's a good itinerary with a rather good infrastructure for pilgrims (you can go thru this chapter of this forum to find out ). One special thing we...

    The route busy in Sept/Oct 2010?

    Hallo Laraine, the Vezelay route is certainly the less crowded af the french walks. Even more so in the period you will be on it.

    If you could only walk one, which would you choose?

    Hallo Lael, it's always hard to make a choice. We've walked Arles in 2005 and Vezelay in 2009. Definitely Arles way is more spectacular and gives a great variety of landscape and places to see. Some of the stages are a bit hard as you have ups and downs but manageable. Accomodation is pretty...

    Dogs on the Vezelay Route/ female walking alone

    Me and wife Elisa have been walking the Vezelay route last May. Don't recall dogs on their own, so don't think you should worry about this. Not very many pilgrims around ( at that time we recall having read on albergue books a total of 370 during first five months of 2009) but we believe safety...
