This is my favorite online planning tool. https://godesalco.com/plan/podense . We walked late August - early October in 2018. I used miam miam dodo to find accommodation. At the time, there was an excellent miam miam dodo app and we did not carry the book which can be found in every gite along...
Flying from Barcelona to Lyon is quick and inexpensive. There is a train from the Lyon airport to the Lyon train station and there are several trains each day to Le Puy. You can purchase a ticket at the station. If you want to purchase in advance my favorite app is Omio https://www.omio.com/ ...
We walked from Le Puy to St. Jean from late August to early October (2018). Going through my photos reminded me of how much we loved this walk. The scenery is beautiful and the food is delicious. We used our phone translator A LOT, but that worked just fine.
It was very pretty in autumn. The...
Do you enjoy cheese and wine? The food between Le Puy and SJPDP (we walked the entire route late August to early October 2018) is delicious. I ate every bite and lost 15 lbs.
I agree with all of the above posts and it seems like you are well on your way to planning a wonderful walk. I did not...
We just finished the walk from Le Puy to SJPDP five minutes ago (well maybe 25 minutes ago :) ). It was wonderful!! As mentioned above this planning tool is excellent https://godesalco.com/camino/podense (we used the profile maps which I downloaded into Google Docs and were very accurate all of...
We head out in 10 days. These first few stages are what I have planned. Given what you know now about the ups and downs would you shorten any of these segments? I’m getting a little nervous because we struggled so much on the Tour Mont Blanc. Any advice is appreciated!
Hello Again,
If any of you are interested in creating your own flash cards with sound, I finally found a great pronunciation site that allows one to download the sound and then add it to the cards you make. https://forvo.com/ (it's free).
Thanks again for all of your suggestions!
Bon Chemin
Hi,
Thank you. I think I will probably do both the Duolingo app and make my own. I am reading a book right now called Fluent Forever, and the author feels strongly that making one's own flash cards is crucial to long term memory storage. As a teacher, I agree with him. Typically, when you create...
Thank you all for your help. I have another question. I would like to make flashcards of French phrases with pictures and audio. I plan to uses Anki to create the flashcards although there may be an easier program to use. Obviously, I do not want to use a recording of my own misérable...
Bonjour,
We will be walking the Le Puy route late August 2018 to early September. I'm so happy you started this thread Roamer35 because I had all of the same questions including the fact that I am partially deaf which makes listening and speaking very difficult. I took several years of French in...
I'm sorry you left your long sleeved shirt behind; it is an easy thing to do with all of the unpacking and packing. Perhaps, someone accidentally mistook it for their long sleeved shirt. It IS a key piece of equipment especially when it is raining, and I hope by the good graces of the Camino...
