    Deciding among a few Caminos

    I can honestly say I wish I were in your shoes...what great choices you have! I have walked your #1 choice the Via Podiensis from Le Puy en Velay to St. Jean Pied de Port and another superb Camino walk the Via Gebennensis (starts in Geneva...forget maybe 12 kms in Switzerland to French border?)...

    Geneva - Le Puy - SJPP - Santiago de Compostela - Muxia/Finisterre! Is my schedule reasonable?

As we briefly talked about in a private conversation I walked from Rorschach Switzerland to Finisterre in 2013/2014...so my experience was that you can certainly enjoy yourself...

    Are gîtes still open?

    I am currently walking the The Puy route and have found a few situations already where Gites have closed early for the season. I keep hearing that the number of pilgrims is low at this point. I left Le-Puy-en-Velay four days ago, currently in Aumont-Aubrac and have met a grand total of two...

    Cele Route Option

    I am presently in Aumont-Aubrac and am wondering if I should do the Cele option from Figeac to Cahors. I understand that it is quite an interesting walk and that the distance is roughly the same as if I take the traditional route. I would like to hear your opinion. If you favour the Cele option...

    Booking ahead

    Thank you for your various responses. After considering the various opinions I have decided to book in advance. Interestingly enough as I started testing out reserving in advance I received four replies that lodgings were booked on The Puy route. On the negative side I realize that I will lose...

    Booking ahead

    Thanks for the various replies. Is there reason to believe that September is as busy a month as May? Guy

    Booking ahead

    Hi, I am walking the Via Gebennensis and The Puy routes this year from mid August to the end of September. I have read a number of posts that refer to booking ahead. Would it make sense to book ahead now or should I wait trying a few days in advance? I thought the latter however am getting...
