    Anyone want to join me in 2021

    Just thinking about it a bit more, you may be better off trying French, German or Dutch language forums. Not many English speakers on the Vézelay route. Most are from the lowlands, I think. John

    Vezelay Camino October 2020 - Recommendation Request

    Hi Sara There wasn’t a mass when we went last year, but a Laudes service, a singing service. Afterwards one of the priests gave us a blessing to start our Chemin. Go to the Pilgrim office for your first stamp, it is staffed by a dedicated pilgrim who is referred to in the village as The German...

    Vézelay Blog

    Hi I loved the Way from Vézelay. It was easy through France and then more difficult in Northern Spain and the Primitivo. The Vézelay Way is pretty quiet compared with the Le Puy but there is a steady trickle of mostly long distance walkers. Not many are anglophones, although many of the...

    Vézelay way to del Norte

    Last year I posted a question about getting from the Voie de Vézelay to Camino del Norte. Glenshiro replied but I rejected his advice. I’ll tell you what I did and comment on the utility. I picked the shortest route from Saint-Palais to Irun. Day 1. To Saint-Esteban. I had already walked from...

    Thanks for all the interest. I’m having difficulty loading pictures at present but I hope that’s a temporary problem.

    I’m sorry about the rotated pics. They’re not rotated on mine so I can’t fix it other than by using a different installation procedure, which I’m doing now. Hope it works. Thanks for the feedback. John

    Vézelay Blog

    Tena koutou and Hi I’m at Limoges now, started at Vézelay on 8th April. I’m hoping to make it to Santiago de Compostela. I’ve been walking with a mate but he’s gone on ahead while I go slower with family. I’m doing a blog, if anyone is interested. I’m focusing on a bit of the detail of the...

    Getting to the del Norte

    That sounds good, thanks Glenshiro. I walked the Voie du Puy a couple of years ago and wondered about Saint Palais. Thanks for including the intermediate villages, that’s just what I needed. John

    Getting to the del Norte

    Planning to walk from Vezelay to SDC Via the del Norte, starting at the beginning of May 2019. What do people think about the Bergerac Variant? What ideas about getting from the Voie de Vezelay to Hendaye/Irun? The GR10 from SJPP sounds pretty tough. John
